Artist, Rebel Mariposa buys an Anel I. Flores

On a journey of gender-travel, through the physical, metaphysical and spirit self, Flores’ work extracts stories of queer, gender non-conforming, multiple-soul, multiple-spirit, multiple-gender, chicas, bois, buchas, rudas, rucas, gordas, flacas, malfloras, y mas. She uses her chosen mediums of oil paint, fine metal and words intentionally to construct lasting testemonios with a lifespan stretching beyond centuries, in a goal to be a part of the chronology of a culture and community dropped from the chronicles of time.
