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.

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.

Particularly, I so remember the early 90’s and seeing a lot of Raider, Charger, Chivas de Guadalajara and America jersey’s and of course those of the Dodger’s and their blue and white hats with the iconic LA blazoned on the front. But my immediate family was different. My dad who in the early 1990’s sold automotive paint and painted cars was surprisingly not that much into the usual sports but all except for BOXING! At that point in time I remember the gatherings at my house when there was a Julio Ces One- Rob Provenzano ar Chavez fight, a De La Hoya fight or a Maromero Paez fight. My dad would bring the TV outside, set-up a bunch of chairs, roll out the grill, fire up the mesquite and lay down the marinated carne asada before the first round bell. I remember how much fun those days were and how much pride people had in the Mexican fighters." -Ernesto Yerena Montejano
