for the Chicano artist or audience is far more complicated to create or to
understand because of its historical origin and the varied elements that make
up Chicano culture in relation to the rest of America. As a visual artist,
this conciseness often leads to frustration and keeps me searching for ways
of breaking those misunderstandings between the Chicano, Hispanic, and mainstream
American culture. Not interested in ‘stereotypical’ events, I like
to challenge the viewer and tell it like it is—I guess that my sensitivity
to injustice is more important than painting about a talamada or harvesting
crops. To me, what constitutes a Chicano artist is the ability to stay true
to Chicanismo and to the morals and values that so many Chicanos have fought
for. About Self Help Graphics |
