The Witch of ZascandilLuis Alberto Acuña

This portrait (1991) shows the Witch of Zascandil, a figure rooted in Colombian folklore. Sharp features and widened eyes create a tense, exaggerated profile. The name Zascandil refers to a trickster or wandering mischief-maker in regional stories. The image indicates how rural mythology blends satire, fear, and ancestral belief.
