La Que No Se Calla

“La Que No Se Calla”
20x30” — Acrylic on canvas

In La Que No Se Calla (“The One Who Will Not Be Silenced”), the artist honors the strength and resilience of Chicana women who have long been told to sit down, be quiet, or disappear. Instead, this figure stands upright, crowned with a golden halo and radiant rays that mark her as both sacred and defiant. Her direct gaze and steady presence embody dignity and resistance, transforming her into an icon of endurance and voice. By merging realism with devotional symbolism, the work reclaims cultural and spiritual space for women whose power has too often been overlooked, making her impossible to ignore
