Virgen de Guadalupe by Gabriel Trevino


Virgen de Guadalupe

by Gabriel Trevino

APRIL 2, 2005



"I stood up the empty 8 foot tall canvas underneath the mesquite tree, laid it up against its branches substituting it for an easel. It was the day Pope John Paul II past on. I can remember it well, I had walked into the house to prepare my brushes in the sink and noticed my parents watching the news. I remember looking into there faces and I couldn't help but notice the glare off there watery eyes. There was a certain feeling about the moment.. I didn't say much, I walked out of the house and from the distance, in the shade underneath the mesquite tree stood the giant canvas and a vision of la Virgen de Guadalupe. I knew what I had to paint. " gt
You can view this painting at the office of Dr. Tony Zavaletta : University of Texas at Brownsville

My Female Art Teacher from Elementary, Said that; Never to attend any Art Exhibits, because All They Want to do; Is For You To Get to Believe Their Sublimical Philosophy and Ideologies, And Then get Influence By Them For Their Own Good and Artistic Advancement, and Buy their Art work and Art pieces.
