Cecilia Leyton Vidal dedicated her entire artistic and personal life to the culture and traditions of the Mapuche people. Landscapes, historical paintings and murals act as intermediaries not only for their aesthetic and historical values but are also crucial testimonies on a social and documentary level for tracing the history of the original peoples of Chile and Argentina. The sacred, the ancestral and the ritual are the central elements of her work, which hands down Mapuche culture to today’s world.
