WANDERLAND

As a queer Latino artist, being gay and happy isn’t a fairytale.

These paintings dive into the childhood struggle of figuring out the chaotic world of adults. In our quest for acceptance, we often feel like we have to trade in our vibrant wonderland for a set of boring rules. But honestly? Who wants to live in a world that stifles that colorful spirit? Here we go again, down another rabbit hole of adulthood.
