Roots
Block Print 23cm x 15.2cm Linoleum September 2019 Exhibition Text Roots intends to symbolize and show the roots of Mexican culture, my culture. I wanted to convey with my audience the idea that indigenous people (Aztecs) are the roots of culture because they were the first ones to settle in what's now Mexico and practice the Mexican culture that's now practiced by us. I wanted my art to represent myself and my roots because I believe Mexican art is not as appreciated as American art is; and so I decided to make my theme for all my art pieces Mexican culture in general; from the roots , to the most modern cultural customs we practice. |
