India is a canvas of colours, and often we fail to appreciate it to its fullest as we are so used to the vibrancy and diversities of our motherland.?
But for an outsider, India is a palette of colours unlike anything anywhere in the world.
That is exactly what Rocio Perez del Solar is trying to do.
The Peruvian artist who travelled across India for nearly six months has captured the best of the country on her canvas.

A True backpacker, she travels where the roads would take her. And across the country, she met several women who inspired her to create the series Amazing Women of India.
"I was born in the land of the Incas Peru, teaching me about simplicity and colors. I believe in Mother Nature and to be in contact with it, we need to listen, feel and learn; my work is created on this basis, using a variety of media, technics and whatever I can have at my hands," she said about her works.?

Her Indian women are from distant Villages in Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Uttrakhand, Himachal Pradesh and Rajasthan going about their daily lives, bringing soul, passion, color, love, and laughter to what they do.

Along these travels, she has produced several murals works in Kochi, Kadalikad, Manali, Kaza, Kangra, Gumkhal and at the Newly established Mandawa Art Village in Rajasthan.
After traveling across India, Rocio Perez is now holding an exhibition at the Art Gallery of the Embassy of Peru in New Delhi.?
