A few friends and I went to go visit Artes de La Rosa, which is a Hispanic Cultural Center in Fort Worth Texas, on March 24, 2012. There we went to an art gallery created by a Hispanic artist who had moved to Fort Worth in the past few months trying to make his passion for his cultural art work known. It's funny because as we were standing trying to figure out a piece he was standing with us as if he was apart of the audience. Then all of a sudden he introduced himself and pretty much caught us off guard and we all laughed.We got the chance to talk to him and he broke down many of the paintings explaining how he created them and the background behind where the ideas came from. We also had gotten to take a picture of him next to one of his pieces. There were a few based off of his experiences like one he created of his grandmother named "Los Regazos de Abuela" meaning the "The Laps of Grandmother". There was also a piece of art with his daughter acting as a samurai and we had the opportunity of meeting her at the display as well as his wife. There was also a time where they let Hispanic students in high school write a paper over what they thought the paintings were about, how they felt about it, how they related to it or even just write a short story about it and read it to the audience that was there. The arts were very interesting I truly enjoyed this experience and wouldn't mind doing it again.
Here are a few pictures from the gallery below I got some of the titles to the pieces misplaced and couldn't figure out how to fix it and I apologize but I hope you enjoy!
