The Folklore of Dominican Republic

Every culture has its own tales of magic and monsters, and the Dominican Republic is no different. The folklore of El Cuco, La Cigiapa, El Guilipote and El Baca are some of the most famous stories and while dark and twisted, have a sense of refinement to them which this piece expresses through the oil paintings used. Although done digitally, an oil paint style was expressed. This type of style shows how these folklores can be as soft as they are harsh.
