This painting, whose title refers to a popular Mexican saying, "Pancho Villa con sus dos viejas a la orilla" (Pancho Villa with his two women, one on each side)  was created as part of my largest solo exhibit to date, "Reyes" which asked itself the question: "What does it mean to be Mexican?" This painting deals with the machista aspect of Mexican culture. The fact that this saying is popular and funny in Mexico proves that it is considered a normal thing for men to be "players" in Mexico. I wanted to make explicit reference to this by illustrating the saying exactly, however, I made the people anonymous by deleting their eyes.

Luna grew up in rural Mexico, the son of a Mexican quantum chaos physicist and an American mother who taught, wrote, edited and translated. Part of his youth was spent in the United States. In California, he studied Cultural Anthropology and Art, specializing in printmaking at UCSC. As an adult, he has lived in Germany, Hungary, and Thailand. Each place has influenced his art and provided inspiration on his journey to find peace in paradox. His work has been sold worldwide in such countries as Thailand, Mexico, USA, Malaysia and Hungary. ARTIST STATEMENT My drawings are abstracted from various aspects of nature. Each of them is a prospective sculptural essence. They are conceived from enhancements, maturities, multiplications and intensification of forms. My main subjects are people because they are a world, a landscape, and an animal all bundled into one. My work is strongly inspired by the Mexican muralists whose murals I grew up seeing as well as by the delicate line-work which characterises Thai and much of Asian art. The American expressionists’ use of color and bold strokes are how my American side shows itself. Interested in becoming a Patron? Click here: https://www.patreon.com/nicolaslunaartist
