Happy Birthday Luchita ❤️ This year, I treasure my memories of the artist Luchita Hurtado, who passed away in August at the age of 99. ‘Say yes,’ she would say, ‘don’t say no to life, ever’. She really lived this maxim and it radiated from her in everything she did. For more than 80 years she made paintings, drawings, even her own clothes, and received little attention for her work until the end of her life. She was driven by the interconnectedness of all living things. She had an intuitive understanding of the mysteries of life and I am so grateful that her images and words live on for all to discover. #luchitahurtado @portermagazine @serpentineuk
