On her featured monumental paintings that blend visual and historical sources such as the Wiphala flag and 19th-century travelogues and cartographic surveys by European colonial explorers, CastaΓ±o says, βMy work proceeds from a painted base layer evoking painters like Frederic Edwin Church, whose painting Heart of the Andes, 1859, was a sweeping homage to these landscapes. The piecesβ¦immediately interrupt that Euro-centric way of looking at these sublime landscapes by introducing collaged textiles in patterns inspired by traditional Andean textiles or the infographic color-coding of climatological heat maps.β
