Chaco

It is not a Rivera but a Lucin; I have been developing this subject for years. Further info it represents life dangers. It is related to human beings in general, for it concerns how fragile we are. There are many symbols and anecdotes where the idea came from and became a meaningful theme.
The name is originally from the indigenous Chaco in New Mexico, Anasazi’s descendants. Then there is another first version, called “ Redemption,” which apologizes to all those poor dead souls. Further, the model kneels in a fetal position, portending its next step to free its soul.

A spontaneous subject goes through many ideas to become his own. Back to the concept, the bull, in exhaustion, rests its head down, waiting to stave Chaco. At that point, the portrayed man without shoes is ready to enter heaven, a traditional symbol of purity. However, despite this, his entity is at risk. The whole scene symbolizes fear of the dead, besides the eagerness for humankind to risk Life. We are very connected to how sensitive and fragile our Life is. The excitement of feeling dead knocking behind our backs makes us feel alive, at least for a second. Hence, respect exists on the other side of us; we are ready to accept our presage. By removing our shoes, we are revering out pureness to enter the holy ground.

On the other hand, considering feedback from people, some have seen the bull horns as a halo. Finally, others comment that it is evil and accept it as a part of Life.

In conclusion, one moment, we are here, and the other, we may disappear. Anything else does not matter anymore. Problems are gone, and from here is one step to mortality.

Borders

The idea was born from a trip to Canada in Montreal. At the train station, to visit the dome, there were walls full of mosaic art. It casts an afternoon light on the floor, full of orange, yellow, and green tones. Not from the fluorescent light but the street sidewalk iron bars, which were enchanting. Moreover, the USA flag model came from Jasper Johns, an American painter, sculptor, and printmaking artist. So, transforming images from sources is recharging along with a past.

Furthermore, for this reason, Borders is a political statement with many points to consider for its content. Then, from a technical aspect, it urges the alteration of the color. In either case, the stripes of white and blue changed. In general, the whole image where the flag with patterns rests. Green depicts fertile ground; also, the entire forest means abundance. Underneath the banner in the gold background full of Maya and Aztec symbols rests in ancient history.
In addition, crows are flying into the light, symbolizing the people.
For this reason, unable to cross the wall, some may die of starvation or drowning to find freedom. Thus, not leaving behind the smuggling of drugs in the middle of the needs of the people and the lord drugs creates more problems. Further, then everybody pays for it, and deportation is inevitable.
Moreover, the message is now clear. Borders’ depiction represents the wall between the USA, Latin America, and other settlers. Consequently, it generates more income for impresarios in the labor areas. For others, a thread. In conclusion, the government has never ceased to steal, for their selfishness does not let them see the future of their citizens. In short, some people may meet to face their demise on the road to freedom.

Urban Images

Urban images are about people and city buildings from the present and the past. I present two groups of people and places in various settings.
The first person is the vendor, who is texting while working. The second is a group of municipal officials posing for a photo. The third is the city park and the Natural Museum of History. It was the beginning of spring, and I decided to go to the city. As I was searching for ideas, I walked by Museum Street. The scene above caught my attention. Vendors were selling coffee in their cars, but a picture in black and white was on the glass window. It was very different from the many advertisement photos on the streets.
At first, the subjects in the pictures looked like German aviators. Still, observing closely, I realized that one of the soldiers was wearing an adult British Brodie hat from World War II.

A simple black-and-white picture helps you focus on the main subject and is soothing to your eyesight. In addition, it levels the whole canvas into one. In addition, the city colors in gray have been enhanced in warm colors to show the other side of life. As a result, there is plenty of enjoyment and excitement.
Then, I found my way to re-design during this term, combined with glass reflections. These pictures at first evoke a mix of ideas in our heads that will later crystallize as transparent images. Although the composition is parallel, the focal points are the models followed by the fragmented city. It shows the places and the excitement of its people.

In conclusion, the painting has many clues, full of spark and creativity. So enjoy these images of buildings full of glass and the people in their golden legacy.
