Exhibit Summary
Latino art embraces a captivating and diverse range of styles, themes, and mediums that reflect the complex interplay of history, identity, and experience. Rooted in cultural heritage and often shaped by migration, resilience, and storytelling, this art form draws from the past while engaging deeply with the present. From vibrant expressions of popular culture to profound reflections on religious beliefs, socio-political realities, and community life, Latino artists create work that is both deeply personal and powerfully universal.

This exhibit features 10 DMV region Latino artists whose work embodies this rich artistic tradition. Together, they present a dynamic blend of styles—from traditional folk motifs to bold contemporary interpretations—that mirror the diversity and vibrancy of Latino communities. Through painting, mixed media, digital art, and more, these artists explore themes of identity, memory, heritage, and belonging.

Their work not only honors the legacy of generations before them but also speaks to the evolving experiences of Hispanic and Latino Americans today. By weaving together cultural traditions with contemporary perspectives, these artists invite us to celebrate, question, and connect with the stories that shape our shared human experience.

Featured artists:
David Amoroso, Ric Garcia, Ale Rodriguez-Gitler, Silvia Martinez, Mike Pacheco, Rodrigo Pradel, Hector J. Torres, Gloria Valdes “Tarasca”, Marite Vidales, Jorge Zamorano
