‘Papel Picado’ means ‘cut paper’ - which is apt, since this painting has multiple layers of hand made paper collage underneath the paint passages. Mexican celebratory flags are highly decorative and bright… to see them fluttering in the breeze is quite a spectacle! That exuberance is captured in the warm mingling of oranges, pinks, red and turquoise.
