Burrito

Measures: 75*55 cm

"Burrito" is a heartfelt homage to the humble and hardworking spirit of rural Mexico. This watercolor celebrates the quiet strength and endurance of a donkey carrying vibrant flowers, embodying the connection between humanity and nature in everyday life.

While painting this, I reflected on the often-overlooked contributions of animals in rural communities, their quiet resilience, and their role in our shared stories. The bright hues of the flowers against the warm, earthy tones of the donkey create a contrast that speaks of life’s balance—hardship intertwined with beauty.

This piece invites you to pause and appreciate the unsung heroes of simpler times, carrying not just their burdens but also the essence of a life rich in culture and nature’s gifts.
