In the book, Carmen Lomas Garza by Constance Cortez discusses the life and how her works expressed her life and culture all in one. With dream-like paintings, many of her paintings are mesmerizing because they feel like a relatable real occurrence not only of Garza’s life but I know many people can relate to the context and themes. I really liked the painting titled Barbacoa Para Cumpleanos because it immediately reminds me of the birthday party I’ve actually had and all the visible colors and visible figures are what I love about the paintings.
The painting is similar in form to Garza’s paintings because of being able to see the figures from a birds-eye view. And Garza’s works seem to capture a moment in her life. And it feels like a healthy romanticization of life because all the figures are on the same levels. also being a Mexican American her work is also inspiring to and as a woman, I feel that it's amazing that Garza has created various works from such a long period of time.
