Street Vendor from Pátzcuaro, Mexico

This old woman is a produce street vendor in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, where photographer Berenice Calderón snapped the reference image. I was moved by the pride in her expression and her willingness to pose for the photographer.

The artwork captures the detailed, lifelike portrayal of the older woman, emphasizing her wrinkles and expressions with meticulous brushwork. While grounded in Realism, it also incorporates Folk Art influences, particularly in the way the figure’s cultural identity is highlighted through her attire and expression. The painting’s use of color, particularly in the vibrant red clothing, and my attention to skin texture, reflect a deep connection to the subject’s life experiences and cultural background.
