    Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas Dignity Prevails HPM Stencil Print by Ernesto Yerena Montejano- Hecho Con Ganas

    Dignity Prevails HPM Limited Edition Hand-Embellished HPM Stencil Spray Paint Artworks on Deckled 100% Cotton Rag Paper by Ernesto Yerena Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2021 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 10 Artwork Size 20x26 Hand Spray Painted Stencils on 100% Cotton Rag Paper Hand Deckled Edges "Dignity Prevails HPM" emerges as a standout work within the oeuvre of Ernesto Yerena, a contemporary street artist whose works are imbued with modern pop art sensibilities and a distinct sociopolitical consciousness. This hand-embellished, limited edition series, comprising only 10 signed and numbered pieces, was brought to life in 2021. Each artwork within this exclusive collection features an artwork size of 20x26 inches, rendered on 100% cotton rag paper known for its durability and high quality. The edges of the paper are meticulously hand-deckled, giving each piece a textured, refined finish that complements the tactile nature of the stencil spray paint technique employed by Yerena. Yerena's "Dignity Prevails HPM" is a visual testimony to his mastery in stencil spray paint, a medium that has become synonymous with graffiti and street art. Through this medium, Yerena constructs a layered, vibrant composition that converges bold patterns and striking symbolism. At the heart of this piece lies a mandala-like pattern, which exudes both a meditative symmetry and a fiery dynamism. This central motif is surrounded by waves that may allude to the ebbs and flows of social movements, suggesting that within the chaos of struggle, there is beauty and order to be found in the pursuit of dignity. The hand embellishments on each print ensure that while each piece remains a part of a cohesive series, it stands alone as a unique piece of art. Yerena's use of vibrant colors and bold shapes is characteristic of pop art. Yet, his method and message are deeply rooted in the traditions of street art, which often serve as a platform for commentary and a voice for the underrepresented. The small number of editions amplifies the value and collectibility of the artwork, making it not just a piece of art but a collectible artifact that captures a moment in the artist's creative journey and the more extensive dialogue of contemporary societal issues. In the hands of collectors, "Dignity Prevails HPM" transcends its material form to become a symbol of the resilience and enduring nature of human dignity as depicted through the lens of modern pop and street art.

Mandala
Mandala, a Sanskrit term that means "circle", has been a sacred concept in Hinduism and Buddhism for centuries. With intricate patterns and symmetrical designs, Mandalas are generally considered as a representation of the universe and a spiritual guidance tool, aiding in meditation and trance induction. In the modern context, this ancient art form has permeated into contemporary culture, influencing pop art, street art, and graffiti. When Pop Art emerged in the mid-1950s, it sought to blur the boundaries between “high art” and “low culture.” It did so by borrowing elements from popular culture, media, and an array of other resources. Interestingly, Mandala, despite being an ancient concept, found its place within this movement. Artists like Andy Warhol and others started to experiment with bright colors and repeating patterns that bore a resemblance to the traditional Mandala designs. Incorporating Mandala patterns and designs into pop art brought a new dimension to the movement. The bold colors and intricate patterns of Mandalas infused a spiritual and contemplative aspect into pop art, which was otherwise known for its critique and parody of popular culture. As street art started to gain momentum in the late 20th century, the Mandala found yet another avenue to thrive. Street art, being a more democratic and accessible form of expression compared to traditional art, welcomed various influences. Graffiti artists often combine Mandala’s symmetrical designs with urban elements to create murals that are not only visually arresting but also carry deeper meanings. By painting Mandalas on public spaces such as walls and pavements, street artists provide a visual treat and often a meditative experience to the passersby, while at the same time commenting on societal issues and human experiences. In graffiti art, which is often considered as a subcategory of street art, Mandala elements can be frequently encountered. Graffiti art, known for its rebellious and subversive nature, uses the Mandala in a way that both respects its origins and infuses it with a new life. The intricate patterns and detailed work of Mandalas in graffiti can be seen as an act of dedication and a contrast to the fast-paced, transient nature of modern urban life. Through the use of Mandalas, graffiti artists are able to bring an element of spirituality and contemplation to the otherwise chaotic and unregulated art form. In contemporary settings, the Mandala's role has been transformed; from a sacred concept to an artistic element that speaks to the masses. Its intricate designs serve as a canvas on which pop artists, street artists, and graffiti artists alike can showcase their creativity while connecting with a broader audience. Through the Mandala, these art forms are able to bring forth a unique blend of spirituality and modernism that is reflective of the diverse and evolving nature of contemporary culture. The Mandala’s historical and spiritual significance, combined with its aesthetic appeal, makes it a versatile and enduring element in the ever-evolving landscape of art.
