LA ULTIMA CACHETADA
(The Last Slap)
30" x 36" Acrylic on Canvas - 2002

I have seen the great damage done to families, especially the children in cases of spousal abuse. What I find most disturbing is the man who purports to love his mother and hold the Virgen of Guadalupe in great esteem. He tattoos himself with the image of the Virgen but then beats and mistreats wife and his children. I find this practice the epitome of hypocrisy. I painted this image with that in mind, the woman is resolute and she will take the abuse no longer.
