Artist’s Statement
El Mosco is from what I call the Bato/Pachuco Series: portrait-like paintings of Mexican-American Chicano characters brought back to life from my memories of growing up among them. Sources, besides my memory, are pictures I collect from publications and especially obituary pictures.
