Recently, for my job at the Notre Dame Center for Arts and Culture, I’ve been conducting interviews with Latino/a artists along with Art Historian Amelia Malagamba in an effort to compile oral histories and trace Latino art in the Midwest. Not only are their families’ migration stories very interesting, as well as what inspires them artistically, they produce beautiful work that I think is worth looking at. Here are just a few examples:
Ramiro Rodriguez – Elementos de Chavon
Ramiro Rodriguez – Great Blue
Maria Tomasula – Heritor
Maria Tomasula – Virgin of Guadalupe
Maclovio Cantú IV – Marcos
Ricco Diamante – Winter Solstice
Ricco Diamante – Atargatis
Salvador Moya – Alien Status
Salvador Moya – Feeding Hearts
