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.
