ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Charrería is the National sport of Mexico. I had the opportunity to experiment this beautiful cultural heritage of this great nation. You do not leave the lienzo ('arena') in the same mood in which you arrived. The time and the baroque flourish of the rope tricks before the rope of a wild mare...everything counts. A beauty fight that you never know how it will end. The lariat thrown to catch the hind legs of a galloping horse...That is the exactly image that this draCharrería is the National sport of Mexico.

The time and the baroque flourish of the rope tricks before the rope of a wild mare...everything counts. A beauty fight that you never know how it will end.

Juan Velez

Born in Brownsville, Texas (USA), 1962. Raised in Madrid (Spain), I returned to my hometown, Brownsville, after fifty years to get to know it better. The unique melting pot of cultures, unique to Brownsville since its founding, is a constant source of inspiration and a positive influence to know other places, new challenges. I work with watercolors by placing the paper vertically and in different ways. The wet-on-dry technique allows me to control the pigment, while I achieve chance through semi-transparent layers and or dripping using the wet-on-wet technique. My watercolors are traces of a life in the exceptional place where I live, where limits and potentialities coexist. I want to awaken memories and moods in the viewers. velezjuan (Instagram) juanmanuelvelezsalinas (Facebook) Public Collections Brownsville Museum of Fine Art Brownsville Historical Association.
