Hasta la Raiz

Hasta la Raiz, Selfie of the Artist
Hasta la Raiz
Hasta la RaĆ­z (To the Root), 2016
Oil on linen.

This painting is a nostalgic yet hopeful visual metaphor about my origins, my identity, where I've been and where I want to be, the ones I love, and all those memories and emotions I carry underneath my skin, embedded within me, and deep to my roots. It is fundamentally about moving forward without leaving my essence behind.
