MONTSERRAT TURQUEZA - ARTIST

La Tortilla is a piece by Oaxacan artist Monserrat Turqueza. Monserrat captures the laborer each night, gathering the necessary ingredients in order to make and sell her tortillas the following morning. Asking the question...do you know the work the earth and a pair of hands have done to sell you this warm tortilla for one peso?

Montserrat's work is a reflection of her surroundings, the stories of her family, the natural world and above all, feelings. Sentiments of strength, sadness, isolation, pride and joy are easily found in the dreamlike worlds she creates. Her pieces, whether painted or drawn digitally have a consistent theme of feminism, family and a deep rooted love of her culture. 

All pieces carried are digital illustrations, signed by the artist and professionally printed.
