Description
This was a piece I made for an exhibition of Colombian Nobel-prize winner Gabriel García Marquez’ literary characters. I signed up in April and was given a character to illustrate, and the illustration was featured along with others in an exhibition at the ‘Museo Cultural del Caribe’ for the 3 days of the Gabriel García Marquez conferences.

The character I was given was Sierva María from ‘Of Love and Other Demons’, which is an interesting book to say the least.

Quick summary shamelessly copied from Goodreads:

‘On her twelfth birthday, Sierva Maria, the only child of a decaying noble family in an eighteenth-century South American seaport, is bitten by a rabid dog. Believed to be possessed, she is brought to a convent for observation. And into her cell stumbles Father Cayetano Delaura, who has already dreamed about a girl with hair trailing after her like a bridal train. As he tends to her with holy water and sacramental oils, Delaura feels something shocking begin to occur. He has fallen in love, and it is not long until Sierva Maria joins him in his fevered misery.’

They forget to mention that the priest is around 30 years old...

Reference used for the pose!
