In South America, Delfina developed strong bonds with the indigenous cultures of Brazil, working with the Katukina, Huni Kuin and Yawanawa peoples in the Amazon Rainforest, where she led art workshops and creative initiatives.

She has dedicated her life to the promotion and visibilization of indigenous culture, as well as to living and working with communities that carry the teachings of ancestral Amazonian traditions.

Currently she has her workshop in a secluded river area in the forest; where she continues her studies, realizes visionary paintings and is now recording her first musical album. She spends part of the year in the Amazon and traveling the world to share her work.
