Immigrants
The Mississippi Arts Commission supported me with a grant that allowed me to create a series of paintings titled “Immigrant Stories” where I will be portraying immigrants and telling their stories through a painting or sculpture. How they came to the United States, why or how they have succeeded in this America. The goal of this project is to show people the cultural value that immigrants bring to this country and the state of Mississippi.
The process of this project starts by doing an interview with the prospect model to know more about his or her background. Then, I do a photo shoot with the model and experiment with some poses that will help me compose the painting.
Please contact me if you are interested in prints of any of these pieces.
