Look Into My Eyes
Mixed Media 33x21" 2019 Look Into My Eyes is an allegory to the perception we have about the rest of the world and ourselves. My portrait is looking straight into the eyes of my partner. We look at each other, but we not only see what you see at a first glance, we see beyond, personal history, tastes, oddities and obsessions. Accepting everything you can't see at a first glance, but it is what really defines a person, that makes a relationship thrive. |

#FightThePower
Acrylic on canvas 24x48" 2016 Price $400 Part of the exhibition Noir: Defining the Melodrama Curator: Juanita Lanzo, Charlie Vázquez & Kimberly Vaquedano-Rose Noir: Defining the Melodrama presents works by artists inspired by the genre film noir*. Artists in this exhibition revisit, re-imagine, appropriate and respond to iconography in noir that addresses current events, crime, urban life, gender roles, isolation and displacement through drawings, illustrations, painting, photography and video. - Using the appearance of the old film noir movie posters I created fusion between the old and the new. Racism is an old problem that is totally up to date. Rich (and white) people have had the power and rule the world since they conquered this land. The first step is recognizing it, the second doing something about it.- |

I'm Every Woman
Acrylic on canvas 62 x 48" 2015 "I'm every woman" It's a reflection of what we are taught, what we accept, what we overcome and what we aspire to be. We all struggle with our bodies, our insecurities, our fears, and we have to learn from the experiences we live, trying not to make the same mistake twice. " “I’m Every Woman” examines the notion of words as complement and accusation together. The panels give a left, back and right of a headless woman with words whispered or shouted around the subject as in a mug shot where sometimes people blame, shame and talk about a woman just for being who she is." -Robert Wadell |

What?
Acrylic on Canvas 28x36" 2014 Part of the art exhibition "Language is Identity" we explored how language plays a role in the maintenance and solidification of our Latino individual and collective identities and at the same time serves as a vehicle to help us revise our identity as we interact with new environments, people and experiences. For this show various Latino artists explored such themes as our voices, the words that moves us, the words that hurt us, the words that remain after immigration, emigration, after misplacement. We worked around topics of language lost and the emotional connection we have with language, how we use language to build or destroy, censorship and self- worth. Curated by Yolanda Rodriguez, Visiones Culturales. |

Madre Patria
Acrylic on canvas 24 x 48 “ 2014 Price $400 Toros y Flamenco Acrylic on canvas 24 x 48 “ 2014 Price $400 Diptych created for the 4th Biennial of Latin American Artists of The Bronx. Under the broad topic "Difusión Cultural/Cultural Diffusion" I explore the Spanish topics through a critical perspective. I use the old bull fight posters format combined with typical typography used in the "Vitores", a kind of older graffiti style use in Spanish Universities to celebrate the graduation of new doctorates. The situation in Spain right now is very critical economically speaking. I wanted to reflect how corruption and unemployment are minor topics of a bigger conversation when politics use popular culture to deviate the focus on those important everyday matters. |
