Skate with Me

Hi there!
In the last months I've meet wonderful people here in the Bronx. 
I love challenges and trying new things, so when I was asked to paint a skate deck I just jumped on it!
Here it is, my first one. It will be exhibited at Heaven Bound 7 Skate Shop and soon I will be finishing more. So stay tuned!!!

If you go to see the play "They Call Me La Lupe" where Lauren Vélez does an amazing one woman show, you'll find my Orishas in the Hall of the teatro Latea at 107 Suffolk Street, 2nd floor in the Lower East Side, NY. 

Some paintings and prints from the saints available before and after the show. 

January 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 22, @ 8pm; January 9, 15, 22 @ 3pm

Here they are, my last two paintings: Ogun and Ochosi. They always go together and live in the forest. I just couldn't make them separately!

My last painting is Oyá, another Orisha from the Yoruba Religion. She loves purple, red and has the lightning and fire power like her first husband Changó. Gold hair, like fire, holding the keys of the dead people. 


If you want an Orisha, I painte them only by commission. You can find me here laura@lauralvarez.com and I'll give you prizes!

Santos

Lately I've been painting in a larger format than usual. Maybe because I have a nice studio that make it easier.
I'm painting the Yoruba Santos from my own point of view. They all have different attributes and specific colors, amazing histories behind each of them. 
Here yo have Changó, Ochun and Yemayá.


24x36" Acrylic on canvas, silver/gold leaf.
