Carmen Lomas Garza(late)
I really enjoyed Carmen Lomas Garza’s work because it reminded me of my family. I can easily identify a lot of the scenes depicted in Garza’s work. I like Carmen styles because it is vibrant; one my favorite works is Earache Treatment because it reminded me of my mom. My mom always does this, but she incorporates onion for extra healing power. Their is so much detail that really makes the scene come alive; this helps the viewer recall similar circumstances their lives.
