Infancia
Oil, charcoal on canvas
"Infancia'' meaning childhood depicts two of my youngest cousins, they are placed in front of a house from our home state of Guanajuato. The protective embrace of the older child represents the loss of childhood that occurs in first generation children of immigrants. We are forced to grow-up at a quicker pace when the weight of keeping our family afloat in a foreign land is placed on our shoulders.
Oil and charcoal on canvas.
