Her Colorful World (Su Mundo de Colores) is an exhibition that celebrates the resilience and imagination of both mother and child. Inspired by the vibrant drawings of her 4-and-a-half-year-old daughter, Inez, artist Issis Macias reflects on the transformative impact of motherhood and the challenges of raising a child during the COVID-19 global pandemic. This collection blends newly created works with earlier pieces that mark key moments in Macias’ artistic journey. Through layers of acrylic and pastel, her abstract compositions invite viewers to explore a world of emotion, curiosity, and strength. Her Colorful World (Su Mundo de Colores) radiates a message of hope, reminding us of the beauty that can arise even from life’s most difficult times.

Bauhaus artist Paul Klee famously stated “ A line is a dot that went for a walk” which is an observation on how lines move the viewer's eyes through a composition. It also reminds us of the power artists have to use the principles of art and design to create images that move us through our senses. Art is a tool for developing skills that bring beauty to our world, it also offers a space where developing artists can explore concepts and express emotions. Perhaps most importantly art allows artistically inclined youths to find their voice and discover their power.

Latino Arts is proud to present the twelfth installment of The Big Idea exhibit and continue to celebrate young artists throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Art is My Super Power highlights and celebrates our youth as they continue to develop their artistic skills and POWER!
