The Art of Lupe Flores

-



One of my favorite artists is Lupe Flores. While we have never met in person we go back a while back to 2004 when we both were listing art on Ebay. I've watched her art develop over the years and it's been incredible to see the different types of art she has created.
Lupe's art includes paintings, hand stitched dolls, clay dolls and more recently a new line of t-shirts with her Dia de los Muertos themed art!

She has also teamed up with Saide on a line of paper mache painted calavera skulls.

To purchase her T-shirts, dolls, original art and prints visit her etsy store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtByLupeFlores?ref=top_trail


Lupe's art is also one of this months featured artists on ArtByLatinaArtists.com.

El Cipitio

I was commissioned to do this special little painting of El Cipitio of El Salvador. It's my interpretation of a small postage stamp that El Salvador put out several years ago. "El Cipitio" 8x10 inches acrylics on canvas El Cipitio (From Wikipedia) El Cipitio es un cipote (niño) de 10 años con un estomago bien grande. Su nombre se toma de la palabra del nahuat “Cipit” o “Cipote” que significa niño. Algunos también relacionan su nombre con el de Xipe Totec. Según la leyenda, él es el hijo de un romance prohibido de una mujer nativa llamada Sihuehuet, conocida como Siguanaba y del hijo del dios Tlaloc. El Cipitio fue condenado por Tlaloc, a vivir para siempre como un chico de 10 años con sus pies colocados al revés, como recordatorio del amor perverso de su madre.

"Who are you today, Maria?"

I've been wanting to post a little blurb on this for while but didn't want to jinx myself until it was finalized. McDougall Littell Publishing is publishing this painting alongside a short story by latina author Judith Ortiz Cofer . It will appear in a their Language Arts, 8th Grade Literature 2007 edition (expected sometime in the spring). The title of the story is "Who are you today, Maria?". I can't wait to see it and read the rest of the story! I've never met Judith Ortiz Cofer, but I've started reading her books and poetry. At some point I might even get the courage to email or call her. I am such a chicken when it comes to things like this. I feel like I can officially say and respond to that eternal question "Who are you today, Maria?"... Today I am a published artist! yippee! Thank you McDougall Littell and Judith for the opportunity.
