The pattern’s journey turned into ideas; this was and is a concept in development, and the idea’s impression still exists. The problematic problems of the world without a solution are a never-ending story. It is a painting with political content. In analyzing this painting, the pinata is the peasant hit by the masked person and represents the devil. It is part of a procession that goes back to medieval times and ancient times by pagans.
It all means by what point of view we want to interpret. Here, the Pinata is in front of the church. Mock rings at the religious in high positions and from being unable to fix the problems. The clown, a significant figure in the painting, is an extension of the social commentary. The people celebrate the food that may come from within. Also, it represents the politicians of high rank who often benefit from the suffering of the peasants.
Inside the creative process, my assistant made a few sketches of mine at my request to work on this idea. Then, I recollected old churches from my pictures and sketches from Ecuador. The Pinata is everywhere in Brooklyn Knickerbocker. There is a Mexican party market where I got my model. I covered his eyes to recreate unawareness toward their people and social bias happening in society. However, it was not as colorful and full of vitality as this one. Moreover, this Pinata and many other series were exhibited at Lehman College as part of my thesis. And nonetheless, a student commented that I repeated the same scene in different views, and I said that it was precisely a series.
All along, the concepts take different paths, such as other points of view in various scenarios. In short, the colors did not change; indeed, they became better and dazzling.
