Gaspar Enríquez has long defined the Chicano art scene. He paints with an airbrush and creates hyper-realistic portraits of people who interest him and whom he finds compelling. His early Harmony en la Esquina series captures the internal conflicts and defensiveness of his young subjects through their eyes or in their body stance. Enríquez’s more recent De Puro Corazónseries features intimate portraits of men and women who have deep meaning to him. It is because of Enríquez’s compassionate nature that his portraits end up capturing the viewer’s curiosity and forcing them to look deeply at his subjects to see their dignity and humanity.
