About the Author

Sharoll Fernandez Siñani (b. 1986) is a Bolivian artist whose work explores the universality of beauty as essential to human self-realization. Educated at the Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes in La Paz, she embarked on a personal journey to reconnect with her Aymara heritage, challenging dominant social narratives in her semi-colonial country.Her multidisciplinary practice spans textiles, origami, painting, poetry, dance, and installation. Sharoll examines the fluidity of identity and the spaces offered to Indigenous individuals across different contexts, genders, and societal expectations. She confronts dehumanization and social tokenization, seeking to build bridges that celebrate humanity.In 2020, she published "From the Center," a trilingual (Aymara, Spanish, English) innovative art book and poetry collection. Her first U.S. exhibition, "Progression of a Creative Mind," was held at the Gutman Library of the Harvard Graduate School of Education from November 2022 to February 2023. The exhibition featured three series: "Madonne," which redefines perceptions of Aymara women by capturing their sensuality and strength; "Metamorphosis," honoring her ancestors through striking black and white paintings; and "Their Glances," where vibrant colors breathe life into Aymara faces devoid of typical folkloric elements, focusing solely on the stories they carry.Founder and CEO of the Zera Bolivia Foundation, Sharoll is committed to the pedagogy of art and the art of pedagogy to bring out from each person what truly resides, valuable as a treasure, within them. With a Master's in Education from Harvard University-achieved through exceptional professional accomplishments without an undergraduate degree-she considers herself a transformative learning companion.At the core of Sharoll's work is a profound inquiry into beauty and pleasure, aiming to advance their understanding as fundamental aspects of human realization.
