    Ganas Vaquero- AP Artist Proof Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper by Latino Artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Limited Edition Artwork. AP Artist 2010 Signed & Marked Limited Edition Artwork Size 18x24 Ganas Vaquero is an emblematic work of art by the esteemed Latino artist Ernesto Yerena Montejano. This piece is not merely a testament to Montejano's creative prowess but also offers a nuanced commentary on the wider cultural milieu. Evident from its title which translates to "Cowboy Desire", this hand-pulled silkscreen print encapsulates a compelling juxtaposition between traditionalism and modernity, inherent within Latino culture. Crafted meticulously on fine art paper, the print mirrors the tactile and aesthetic quality that Montejano's oeuvre is celebrated for. As part of the "Hecho Con Ganas" series, this artwork is a shining example of Limited Edition Art, created with a sense of purpose and passion. The fact that it’s an AP (Artist Proof) from 2010 makes it especially rare and sought after among art collectors and enthusiasts. An artist proof, historically, refers to a print made from a plate during the process to check the quality. They hold a special place in the heart of printmaking and are often more valuable than regular prints because of their limited numbers and the artist's direct involvement in their creation. Positioned at the crossroads of pop art, street art, and graffiti, Ganas Vaquero exemplifies Montejano's unique ability to intertwine varied art forms while staying rooted in his cultural identity. The size of the artwork, 18x24 inches, ensures it captures attention while also being adaptable to diverse display settings. The signature of the artist affirms its authenticity, and the marking as a limited edition piece solidifies its exclusive status. Montejano's work thus doesn’t just serve as a representation of Latino heritage, but as a dialogue between global art forms, cultural identities, and individual creativity.
