Comments: "My work is closely related to personal experience. This visual poem tells the story of a relationship that was so intense that it was extinguished by the fire of passion. This love is being reborn through a new fire of life but it has to face a deconstruction of its past and in a cathartical experience overcome the present to be able to grow into the future." J.A. Aguirre.

Comments: "I live in Hollywood, in a part of the city that used to be residential but is now in a state of change. There are a lot of stray cats in this neighborhood. The cats are forced to survive on their own. The cities are in the same state of plight. I have used the stray cat as a symbol of what happens to a city in decline and to its inhabitants--an electric neon existence of surviving at any cost--casting an uncertain shadow to its future." A. Alferov.

Comments: Oriental Blond is a portrait that speaks of the two diverse background cultures from which Mr. Alferov has come. The bright blond side of the face is the white cultural roots while the blue side represents his oriental ancestry. The body of Mr. Alferov's work speaks about the conflicts and resolutions of meeting middle ground through cultural and emotional diversity.

Comments: "Other shamans dream that someone wants to throw a cloud which will destroy all of the people. All of us will end from this cloud. Others say they dream that a giant animal will fall and, where it falls, everything will burn in a great fire. The only way to stop this is to renew the candles so the gods are contented. The shamans know how; they did this once a very long time ago. Maybe they will do it again, maybe not. They will dream what they have to do." Ulu Temayk, Mara'akame (Huichol Shaman).

Comments: "A personal piece celebrating the birth of my first child, Sara Paloma, depicted at 4 months. The 2 weavings are used to symbolize two cultures from her background--Mexican and Indian--and also the textures and interweavings of one's life. The photographs symbolize her connections to her past (she is named for her great-grandmother Sarah). The feathers on the rug symbolize feathers of the dove which in Native American cultures stand for good deeds and power in one's life. This print represents gifts she has received from her past." G.

Comments: "Refer[s] to the alienation of people who live in a super metropolis experience. Human beings are separated from direct contact with nature. The person becomes a mere reflection of self. These entities are defined by the image of them within the little box of a television set." G. Bert.

Comments: "The elder represents long life in a peaceful setting. The plumed serpent is 'Quetzalcoatl' representing the 'creative force' but also 'chaos' which surrounds the elder and wants the heart as the final sacrifice of life. The braids on the heart are her/his life's story; the nopales cactus are new life still growing. The cat is the jaguar, 'Tezcatlipoca', death lingering over your left shoulder, waiting for the person giving up on life. Message: We must remain in balance, rest and soothe our hearts, not succumb to desires, etc., around us." D. Botello.

Comments: "Manifestation of Trinity is an attempt to portray analogies between the ancient and the universal concept of Trinity and recognizable manifestations in life that are triple in nature, the three primary colors from which all other colors emerge, and the family unit of father, mother and child from which all nations take form. Spirit endows matter with dynamic conscious life." R. CalderÙn.

Comments: Based on distorted perspective creating abstract-like forms and accented by lines to frame the objects. Shadows are also incorporated into the design with use of shape and color. The subjects are familiar ones to most Mexican-Americans; they evoke an ethnic feeling unique to the culture which has introduced this type of pastry, "Molletes", to our society. "The subjects I paint are a reflection of the bi-cultural work that surrounds me. These subjects express the rebirth of ideas and feelings which are emerging in today's society." S. Coronado.

Comments: The Vote Series is a group of paintings and prints that emphasize the vote. The artist reacted to apathy on the part of many of our citizens. He was born in the south when the right to vote was denied his family because of their race. "Many people... particularly in the south have made great sacrifices to assure the right to vote for all people, and the Vote Series is intended to be a nonpartisan motivator and consciousness raiser for all citizens."

Comments: "Pregnant female figure in anxious position with umbilical attachment to ground--fertility of people; of the earth. Soldier as a set piece in the game of exploitation between countries. The clown figure from pack of 'Payaso' cigarettes common to Guatemala. Three headed dog whose symbolism probably has some deep mythological story that has to do with Hades, the river Styx, Dante Alleghieri, and so on, but it's just an image from the Mexican state of Guerrero that looked cool."

Comments: "Basically my print is a statement about oppression. It's about people who struggle to survive while their lands are stripped away and their resources siphoned. I recently read the lyrics to a song which I think most clearly defines my piece: '...So take a good look at my face, you'll see my smile looks out of place, look even closer, it's easy to trace the track of my tears'."

Comments: "Well, it was quite a spontaneous activity indeed. The content of this image is totally appropriated from the commonplace of contemporary culture.

Comments: "I continued to build texture and detail. The Little Gold Man himself is the focal point of the other figures in the piece, but at the same time is one of the many figures involved in this print, as in other prints I have created through the Atelier program. I attempted to work on an image using a new technique that is very different from my other prints." D. Gamboa.

Comments: "The image of the coyote is a representation of the brujo Don Juan as he is transformed into animal form.

Comments: "This is part of my series on women and dogs. The other prints consist of the dogs on the prowl for women. In this print, the dog accomplishes his goal.

Comments: "The bride is a statement about my struggle as an artist, who leaves the professional field of art in order to survive as a single parent. During this time, this woman feels like she is slowly dying because she is not able to be what she wants to be. This is not against marriage, but a statement that one must be what she really wants to be before she can be anything else. Women have a harder struggle than men simply because we are women; I hope that for the women of tomorrow the struggle will be easier to make their lives better." Dolores Guerrero-Cruz.

Comments: "The theme is our interconnectedness with each other and The Universe. The car represents movement in space and time is represented by the images of four women: La Virgen de Guadalupe (the driver), the Mexican Indian grandmother, the modern Chicano mother and child.

Comments: "This print is based on my New Year's Eve 1988-89 spent with 14 people on top of Vulcán de Pacaya just south of Guatemala City, Guatemala. The combination of the active volcano, fireworks, campfire and fireflies is a potent mixture of heat, light and symbols. The volcano is a symbol for many things--underlying tensions exploding to the surface--political, social, sexual and emotional. This night and this mountain serve as a stage for reflection on events of the present and future. Fire is a catalyst for change, ignition of passion, destruction of the old, commencement of the new."

Comments: "Mexican-Americans. These three generations formulated the passionate Mexican-American heritage. But the Mexican-American was to enter his own revolution: to fight for his identity; to establish his values in a country which differed in culture and in values from the three generations that had preceded him. Now the fifth generation has to respond to a new-age culture: electronics, space, sex, materialism, Ronald Reagan, etc. Like the cactus which supports the eagle on the Mexican flag, they are all undeniably Mexican-rooted!"

Comments: "Between hope and hopelessness, any child, including the child within us, is fragile, vulnerable, and dependent on an external world for its very survival.

As a volunteer chair of a YMCA fundraising campaign, I see many campaigners and donors who are making a difference in many of these children's lives. I salute these volunteers who dare 'say yes' to the YMCA and help us to 'Say yes!' to life." J. Perez.

Comments: "Based on series of pastel sketches on newspaper. The religious imagery of the sacred hearts of Jesus and Mary conveys personal religious convictions in a purely aesthetic approach. The print medium has recreated the newspaper accurately, while the image retains the immediacy of the original. I've also used monotype to enhance the attitude of making art at the moment. The overall piece conveys an irony in the juxtaposition of religious symbols and the disposable, temporary material on which they are executed." L. Perez.

Comments: "This print depicts a young girl who, while in her sleep, visualizes her fear of a snake curled close to her which may strike as it reaches towards the sunset. Images of unborn children within a tree (tree of life) and the dark clouds shaped like an eagle edge towards the sunset, reflecting an old Indian wise man that oversees her presence. Symbols relate to the notion of the fear of losing one's cultural identity and of the hope for children to maintain their heritage." J. Bastida-Rodriguez .

Comments: "The fight represents the differences in ideologies concerning the decision-making about citizenship. The decision is either to maintain Mexican citizenship and deny any involvement in policy making in the United States or to give up Mexican citizenship and, much more, to become U.S. citizens.

Comments: "The print deals with ways of thinking of Mexico: the banner is tourist brochure style; the eagle is folk-artsy; the snake is designy; the cactus is just a cactus. The frame is a stream-of-consciousness field of images (visual, historical, narrative and musical and sensual) that I associate with Mexico and Mexicanos. The calaveras of Posada accompany the cantante on her guitar--her song of love becomes the lovers in a desert on the bottom of the frame. Hidden behind the eagle is the Virgen de Guadalupe, the unofficial symbol of Mexico." J. M. Walker.

Comments: "The title Amor Matizado translates into Blended Love, hence a blending of thought, ideas, personal preference. The idea began as a skeleton and a woman kissing, then it became a man and a woman, then ultimately as both figures drew closer to completion, the end result was two women. My print as the artist on this design was that of an impartial observer." G. Yepes.

Comments: "This work portrays passages of my life as a Mexican raised and educated in the U.S. Having left Mexico at a very young age, I had to adjust to a new culture, new environment, and hardest of all, a new language. Thinking back, it was an experience impossible to match, but easy to express. Mom once said, 'Vamos a Estados Unidos, donde todo es color de rosa.' (We are going to the U.S. where everything is like paths covered with rose petals [sic]). It has not been that easy!" A. Zaragoza.
