Abstract
My current body of work examines the intersection between politics, culture and identity as crafted through the lens of a Chicano painter working in the context of contemporary aesthetics. Often, it is said that Chicanos feel caught between cultures, not fully American, yet at the same time unable to identify fully as Mexican.1 Accordingly, themes such as immigration, the criminalization of immigrants, and the border wall between México and the US have been explored in my work.
