Nieves, impertinent and flirtatious

This book includes a wide selection of the drawings and occurrences of Nieves, the petite female character who began to appear in Colombia more than 30 years ago and immediately win the hearts of her readers. Nieves, the iconoclastic young black woman who has the virtue of interpreting an entire country in her comments and famous "gaffes", is the creation of Consuelo Lago, a renowned and ingenious artist from Cali who has dedicated herself entirely to caricature and painting. . For a long time Nieves did domestic work, but in 1997 she took off her apron and entered university. Now she studies philosophy and literature and dresses in the clothing of a modern university student. However, his proverbial impertinence and mischievous reasoning give no respite. Eternally in love with "Hétor", the athletic and hermetic boyfriend who awakens her anger and tenderness, Nieves projects in each painting her citizen ideals, her moral appreciations, her political preferences and her emotional loyalties.
