Graduate Project

No quiero que se vaya

No Quiero Que Se Vaya is an exhibition of seven oil paintings depicting por-traits and agricultural imagery. The project began with representing Northern California’s central valley agricultural environment based on the artist’s personal experience of being raised and living as a farmer. The project began with gathering images of the environ-ment and using photography as a tool to reassemble the artist’s memories, followed by turning them into multilayered oil paintings. The paintings became a technical exploration of combining abstract and rep-resentational styles of painting. Research was completed in order to understand contemporary Chicano art with an emphasis on agriculture. No Quiero Que Se Vaya is intended to give the audience an inside view of life as a Mexican-American farmer’s daughter, and giving voice to a group of people who are often suppressed in society.
