"El Divino Corazón Nopalero de Tonantzin Guadalupe" Artista: Medusczka

Conoce más de su obra:

Cuando lo divino traspasa al plano terrenal siempre genera ruído. Conoce más del arte de Medusczkza en esta nota.

Tonantzin, su culto se transformó durante la época de la colonia en el mito de la mestizada Virgen de Guadalupe. Reinterpretación que la transfigura en un símbolo libertador para la mujer, convertir el s̵e̵x̵o̵ femenino en divinidad emancipadora.

this is by mexican american artist Criselda Vasquez, and here's her words on the painting via it's instagram post:

"As the American-born daughter of two Mexican immigrants, I illustrate their plight and the plight of many in my community with my art. I want to expose the heart-breaking pain of what a Mexican immigrant’s family goes through. I focus on bringing my family's world into the light and out of the shadows. My paintings are best described as visual comments on the hidden daily reality of the Mexican-American experience. These portraits and still lifes reveal my family in their own authentic environment and expose how I live in two worlds. My paintings layer the American culture over the Mexican world. I feel society needs to be aware of the humanity on the other side of the door.

The two most important people in my life, my parents, are also the two who motivated me to develop such a strong concept. When my parents pose for these paintings, their faces are reduced to extremely raw and somehow vulnerable expressions. Sadly, they strive to be invisible every day. They don’t have to pretend to illustrate the invisible. They have dealt with constant rejection, suspicion and fear so long, that it seems now that it comes naturally to them. I strive to capture how their expressions deliver that sense of tiredness, resignation, and quiet acceptance. It seems relevant to show that underneath all the politicization and undeserved labeling this community receives, these are regular people just like all of us. In the long tradition of immigrants that come to the United States, they have made homes here and they are just trying to live a simple life with a bit of security and hopefulness for their children."
