Aymara’s Freedom
30” x 40”
Acrylic on Canvas
Aymara represents the people of the Andean indigenous nation. The work is a tribute to the culture that has resisted imperialism and current political coup d’etat while maintaining strong connection to their native roots. We see the woman portrayed holding her braided hair that turn in the the chains connected to her shackles. She sits patiently with the sun behind her illuminating her presence.
Akiro with Machete
24" x 38"
Acrylic on Canvas
Acrylic portrait painting on canvas for African American and Native American artist Amir Shakir created by Ivette Cabrera. This artwork titled “Akiro Warrior with Machete” celebrates a black warrior styled like a Moorish prince with a variety of textures and fabrics.
I took the photo of Amir in my studio and recreated the image matching the color of the fabrics etc. I wanted the strong contrast of the warm tones oh his face with the green background. The machete in many cultures is a very important tool that is used to cultivate and for battle.
