About Compendium
Welcome to Compendium — a curated collection of original fine artworks by Mercy Abarca, a 17-year-old Peruvian-Canadian visual artist whose work is deeply rooted in personal resilience, cultural identity, and emotional storytelling.
Each painting is crafted with intention and detail, then transformed into museum-quality fine art prints and canvas reproductions. All items are made to order and personally handled by Mercy — from overseeing professional printing to quality-checking each piece before it reaches your hands.
Pre-orders are fulfilled within 1–3 business days, and every customer receives direct updates from Mercy about shipping, delivery, or pickup. Whether you’re in Richmond Hill, Hamilton, or elsewhere in Ontario, your support helps sustain a young artist’s dream — and brings a one-of-a-kind narrative into your space.
This is more than art — it's a growing legacy of care, complexity, and craft.
