Las Que Son #2

Las Que Son #2

Acrylic painting with handwritten poem

Las Que Son #2 is part of the Las Que Son collection—a body of work honoring women who are, without apology, performance, or permission.

Set against a luminous turquoise field, this figure stands grounded and composed. Her wide, sculptural headwrap rises like a crown—both protection and proclamation. Gold accents and dotted patterns move across the surface like breath, memory, and quiet knowing. Her gaze is steady. She does not seek attention; she already holds it.

A handwritten poem is embedded directly into the painting, becoming part of the visual language rather than an explanation. The text appears intentionally inverted—inviting the viewer to slow down, to turn inward, to listen differently. The poem is not meant to instruct, but to witness.

This piece speaks to identity reclaimed—not as something earned, proven, or performed, but as something remembered.

Las Que Son translates loosely to “Those Who Are.”
