native, Nuvia Crisol Guerra displays work from two series,
"Calaveras in Celebration of Life" and "Loteria
de la Mujer". Currently, this UCSD alumni works at
a local pharmaceutical company and expresses her passion
for Mexican culture through painting. Crisol's interest
in art was inspired by her first-hand viewing of original
artworks by Siquieros, Posada, and Kahlo in Mexico City
in 1996. Crisol's vibrantly colored work is reminiscent
of Mexican artesanias. "Calaveras in Celebration of
Life" pay homage to her ancestors as in the tradition
of Dia de los Muertos. "Loteria de la Mujer" depicts
a Latina's evolution as she comes into full bloom in an
ever-changing world. All of Crisol's work is bravely characterized
in strong and bold colors through this Latina's soulful
brush. "I aspire to use my artwork as a creative tool
to broaden the understanding of Mexican culture, its people
and its traditions to non-Latinos and Latinos alike. My
intention is to evoke a need for family history, inspiring
a better sense of life".
