As both an artist and an educator, Agricola Mojica often revisits art history to build a curriculum and a basis for her artworks. She explains, “I start with an underpainting based on a master study, using that composition as an anchor. However, as I build up layers of figures, planes, and shapes, much of the original study becomes obscured, creating a dialogue between the past and the present. I am to create a sense of unity, bridging the gap between these two, the old master’s and my own.”
