This painting is part of a new series that questions the way we see ourselves, and our culture. It challenges stereotypes and celebrates how unique we are as individuals. We should be proud of our heritage but not allow anyone to put us in a box.
"1846" 2020
Medium:Spray paint and Latex Enamel on brick building.
Dimensions: 40FT height 35FT wide
Titled “1846” We are indigenous not illegal. In 1846 the United States went to war with Mexico, and the defeated nation was forced to relinquish its northern territories by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1848. This opened the Southern Rocky Mountains to American settlement, including what is now the lower portion of Colorado. I wanted to create a mural for @streetwiseboulder that represents a Mexican Native man connected to his ancestors through blood and heritage. It was an honor to share a piece of my culture with Boulder, CO.
