About the Ebook
Rocío Plúas. German-Ecuadorian contemporary artist ---



Rocío Plúas's Make Up consists of a series of pages torn from glossy magazines and then drawn and painted upon with mixed media in such a way that the "canvas" (the magazine background) appears in various degrees of visibility.
