| I paint my surroundings, revealing the Mexican American experience through community, family, and individual slices of life in the many sectors of present-day Mexican American society, both urban and rural. Very seldom do my paintings depict the individual as the main subject, but rather as an integral part of the larger society, a patchwork of community life. It is the collective that is important, the primary focus in all my work. Group activities of Mexican Americans caught in a moment in an American locale are a consistent theme. Surrounded in color, the Mexican people in my paintings become part of the colorscape, not as individuals but as a community. I paint my community, my heritage, myself. | |||||||||||
