MAJESTIC: A QUINCEAÑERA REIMAGINED

A NEW SERIES IN PROGRESS

It has always been a fantasy for me to be a court painter in the 21st century and implement nepantlic beliefs of "in-betweeness" (Chicano interpretation) or "in the middle of things" (16th Century Aztec definition) into the philosophy of these paintings.

 

The adolescent is the perfect archetype to express being "in the middle of things". It is an awkward time where a teenager is having to accept more responsibilities, like getting a job, getting an education, and someday becoming a mother. The Quinceañera is an event that is practiced in countries in the Americas to celebrate the transformation of a 15 year old girl to a woman. It is a moment that helps her parents let go thru a series of rituals, "The Changing of the Shoes", The "Ultimate Muñeca" "Vals", "The Blessing" to name a few.

 

However, over the years, it has become a controversial event within the United States, where some feminist circles believe the Quinceañera to be nothing more than a patriarchal institution that forces women into marriage thru the church and continues to dominate women for their benefits.

 

But I believe that we have taken this celebration out of context.  100 or so years ago, women had very little options. Either they become a feminist and join the convent under the protection of the church, or joined the social norms and become a wife and a mother protected by patriarchy. 

"Majestic: A Quinceañera Reimagined" questions and investigates the mainstream feminist view and instead desires to create a new initiation into womanhood that reflects the values of spiritual feminism today. 

Below are a few digital collages  that will be transformed into oil paintings. The series will is planned for 20 paintings. Majestic art exhibit is to be determined for 2026-2028 and we are currently seeking to exhibit in cultural centers, galleries and museums in Mexico and the United States.
