Queen Guacamaya - the film
Lorenny’s passion for making helps her stay connected to her roots and her country, Venezuela. She loves to draw, create fashion and dance. She first learned about fashion watching her mother working on clothing alterations from home. Continuing in her mother’s footsteps, she went on to study fashion design at university.
Queen Guacamaya draws on the vibrant colours of her homeland, with design elements inspired by the patterning of the Macaw, Angel Falls and the tropical landscape. Lorenny brings to life the character of Queen Guacamaya. She is the queen of the jungle. Through the work Lorenny aims to highlight the power of the woman. Whilst the piece may look like a fantasy costume, it is not. It represents all that women can achieve.
From Lorenny’s Artist’s Statement: ‘I try to include a lot of energy and vibration in all my works…I would like that when someone looks at my design that they can feel the passion, that they can feel happy.’
