Quiero Ser Artista (2010)
$75

This print is about a young boy who imagines his future as an artist. He is the son of farmworkers and sits at his desk making drawings in his sketchbook. Through the window, one can see the vast agricultural fields which are being sprayed with harmful chemicals. The boy is the son of immigrants and he knows there is no future for him working in the fields - instead he wishes to be an artist. The phrase "Quiero Ser Artista", in English means, "I want to be an artist."

This piece is 1 in a series of 4 prints created in a SMALL edition of 23. The series of four is titled, "REDS," and consists of four portraits.

Each print measures 19 x 25 inches and is printed on red French Paper. All prints are embossed with a chop from the Taller Tupac Amaru and signed by the artist, Favianna Rodriguez. Each print was hand pulled by master printer and fellow Just Seeder, Jesus Barraza.
