¿Quien Soy?
- Joe Lopez
- Joe Lopez' watercolors are a metaphor, a symbol of a unique place in time where a border "barrio" culture embraced the history and traditions of two countries. The artist spent his early life in a South Texas barrio hidden near the posh neighborhood of Alamo Heights in San Antonio, Texas. Most locals are unaware that such a place existed near an area where wealth was plentiful. "El Barrio Escondido" (the hidden barrio) created a vivid cultural backdrop of family ties, religion and social influences that are evident in all of Lopez' works.
