Someone took an image of my “Mandala Azteca” painting & put it on a slipmat. I’m not fond of people copying my artwork & using it for their own purposes, but I have to admit that this is pretty badass.

Well played, Mr. DJ. Well played!

"Zapata Intenso" ("The Intense Zapata") (2005) – gouache paint ————————————– On this day, 98 years ago, Emiliano Zapata was killed in an ambush. He was 39 years old.

Zapata (August 8, 1879 – April 10, 1919) was a leading figure in the Mexican Revolution who formed and commanded a potent revolutionary force called the "Liberation Army of the South". He is considered to be one of the most outstanding and revered national heroes of México. To many Mexicans, specifically the peasant and indigenous citizens, Zapata was a logical revolutionary who sought the implementation of liberties and agrarian rights outlined in the Plan de Ayala. He was a realist with the goal of achieving political and economic emancipation of the peasants in Southern México and leading them out of severe poverty.

"Zapata Intenso" is an intimate portrait of the famous revolutionary leader that emphasizes his expressive face and intense stare. It shows a poor indigenous man, hardened by years of abuse and frustration. His eyes are the most revealing, as they show a sad but determined gaze of a person who is fed up and has nothing to lose. It is the look of a man you don't want to mess with. "Zapata Intenso" is painted in the complimentary color scheme of the Mexican flag – green and red. In this case, I used an intensely vibrant red for the highlights on Zapata's face and gradually transitioned it into a deep green for the shadows. ————————————– *Buy this print & other cool stuff by clicking on the link in my bio!👆🏼

“The Grape Harvest” (1996) – mural (acrylic paint) on a wood panel ————————————— During the summer of 1996 (after my junior year in high school), I was part of a select group of art students who painted three murals as part of a beautification project in downtown Yuba City. This one - which I named “The Grape Harvest” - was located on the corner of Plumas Street & Teegarden Avenue, on the side of a wine shop at that time. It has since been painted over due to its weathering & discoloration after years of being directly exposed to the sun. ————————————— RobertoValdesSanchez.com ©/s ————————————— *Check out more of my artwork by clicking on the link in my bio!

Twenty-one years ago today, I kissed the love of my life for the first time outside a wedding reception in Live Oak, CA. It was a bold move that has payed off immensely. We were just two 15-year-old kids with no clue as to what life had in store for us. Now married & with five beautiful children, I am thankful that she decided to take a chance on me too.❤️

You are the love of my life; my greatest friend; my fiercest opponent… You are my home.
