Mujeres de Nepantla
title Mujeres de Nepantladescription This painting was created during a residency of the Nepantla Project organized by Gloria E. Anzaldúa (1942-2004) in Saratoga, California. The central image is La Llorona, who emerges from the water and from the cipactli, the crocodile. Shells, fish, and Coyolxauhqui's body parts float in the water, and the profile of her face appears in the moon. The tattoos on the two faces of La Llorona are appropriated from the codices. The soul of the fetus that she carries rises behind her. On the left, Malinche emerges from the maguey, and on the right, the artist's grandmother, Andrea, appears with a javelina, which locates the artist in South Texas. Other symbols are the butterfly, the hummingbirds, and the double-headed horse, appropriated from José Clemente Orozco. Oil on canvas.
