artistjakeprendez:Finished the first in a series entitled “Cultural Resiliance: We Still Exist”. The series is about exploring our roots and the way we look at ourselves, the ways in which our indigenous culture has survived. It is in our cooking, our mannerisms, our language, our beliefs in the ways we embrace our elders and children. We never left, we are not an extinct people. Look into our eues do you see 1491? We are still here and we maintain and create culture everyday. The Model of the first painting is a dear friend and one of the most beautiful women I know inside out out, Sharon. She is also an amazing pinup model in a very white genre and puts up so much hate and racist mail. Like many Chican@s at the top of their game whether it be actor, model, scholar, artist or engineer, they receive much of hatred of their people directed at them. It was an honor to paint such a strong Mujer and defender of her roots!#indigenous #jakeprendezart #jakeprendezoriginal #oilpainting #chicano #chicana #love #ancestors #eastlos #eastla #rockabilly #pinup #culture #chicanoart #chicanoarteArtist: @artistjakeprendez painting from the “Cultural Resiliance: We Still Exist” series. -- source link
