Presentation: Adriana Yadira Gallego

I am choosing to complete my presentation on the artist, Adriana Yadira Gallego. I was randomly looking at people on the list and as I quickly skimmed through Gallego's biography I was very intrigued by her art and her collections. I kept wanting to look at more and hear her interpretations of her paintings. I find myself excited to learn more about her and her come-up, and it surprises me some of the things she's been able to accomplish at a young age.
Gallego's art seems contemporary to me as she has a collection called La Frontera, containing visuals of cross-border migration in the desert. The painting I attached is called Invocacion and from her Divine Impulse collection. The series has a variety of these dia de los muertos like dancers as well as other fun spirited damas and it has a very beautiful ruggedness about it. It will be interesting to learn more about her artwork and awareness that she can spread through her presence and art. She will surely be one more Chicana artist that I can remember after this class.
