The painting of Consuelo Amat y León explores abstract forms and flat colors, taking on the difficult risk of simplicity, alluding to designs derived from ancient Peruvian Arts. These explicit references do not limit the originality of her vision, which is why I say she possesses Style. Whether she abstracts or presents figurative images, she does so with her own vision, novelty, and freshness. The use of color does not intimidate her, and far from academic formulas or fashionable cosmetics, she explores new harmonies. The composition is resolved as successfully as in a Wari, Nazca, Ica, or Ullujaya ceramic or textile. A direct and sufficient language.The painting of Consuelo Amat y León explores abstract forms and flat colors, taking on the difficult risk of simplicity, alluding to designs derived from ancient Peruvian Arts. These explicit references do not limit the originality of her vision, which is why I say she possesses Style.

She frequently achieves highly suggestive atmospheres with simple geometrization—circles, scales, arches, dots of various colors and sizes, concentric shades, haloed and unusual forms. One could say the playful tradition of Nazca and Paracas is present.

The painting of Consuelo accomplishes the essential transmutation of colors and forms into symbols, with joy, simplicity, —symbols that reach and radiate universal values.

In her work we celebrate and delight in a surprising sense of color and composition, a luminous work, full of value and meaning.
