Painting, Oil on Canvas
Size: 36 W x 48 H x 2 D in
This painting is about the stigma surrounding female facial and body hair. As a Puerto Rican woman, The Painter is hairy! Thick, coarse curls are part of her identity, and though she has been shamed for doing so- told she “does not have good hygiene”, or that she is “more attractive when she shaves”- she wears her mustache and unibrow with pride. The Painter aims to find humor in her circumstances, therefore the two figures shown hold cat tails to their faces, exaggerating their mustaches. Behind them stands Frida Kahlo and family. Frida wears her preferred masculine attire- suit and tie with slicked hair. A baby screams in horror. A small dog searches for safety (or a cat hiding under the couch) and teddy bear escapes the room via snowboard.

Samantha Rosado is a Puerto Rican, cisgendered, gay woman who works primarily with oil paint on canvas. Though she was drawn to the arts in her youth, she began oil painting after graduating from Mount Holyoke College in 2015. In Summer 2016, Samantha attended a Puerto Rican tiple (guitar) making workshop at Trinity College. She was later offered a Hilla Rebay Post-Baccalaureate Fellowship in Fine Art and Studio Art. At Trinity College, Samantha found interest in the challenge of color, space development and compositional relationships. She carried this interest through her assistantship at Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, and her MFA at Louisiana State University. Samantha is a painter, poet, and storyteller. She uses humor in her work to create captivating imagery and rhythm to guide the viewer through a story of directional line and color.
