Paintings Influenced by the popular Mexican bingo-like game. I recently began to incorporate the images of the Mexican Loteria cards into my paintings. This is a new theme I am currently exploring. My “take” on the “Loteria” tribute is that I continue with my technology/gadget-infused sensibility, while my “characters” wear t-shirts honoring “Loteria” artwork… I am intrigued by these cards because of their cultural, iconic, and popular significance as well as for their intrinsic artistic strength, compositions and colors.
