Released in 2022, this 5-color hand letterpress print on fine cotton paper measures 24x18 inches and is a notable collectible due to its short run of only 100 signed and numbered pieces. Yerena, under his creative banner Hecho Con Ganas, continues to weave his cultural narratives and political sentiments into his art, drawing on his Mexican-American roots to speak to both communal and personal identities. The exquisite quality of this piece is immediately evident, achieved by employing individual metal plates for each color, a traditional and meticulous process that ensures the vibrancy and depth of the print. Aardvark Letterpress in Los Angeles, California, known for its exceptional letterpress work, is the printmaker behind this piece, lending its longstanding craftsmanship to Yerena's contemporary vision.

In "Flowering Dignity Colibri," the interplay of color and form is striking. The central motif, a mandala-like floral pattern, is flanked by two hummingbirds, symbolizing agility, vitality, and resilience. These elements are set against geometric shapes and patterns that add a sense of movement and depth to the composition. The warmth of the colors used in the floral pattern contrasts with the cool tones of the background, creating a visual pop that's characteristic of pop art’s attention-grabbing style. This piece sits at the intersection of pop art, street art, and graffiti art, carrying forward the rebellious spirit and the bold aesthetics of these movements. Yet, it remains distinct in its embodiment of the artisanal letterpress technique, demonstrating how traditional methods can converse with contemporary art forms. Yerena Montejano’s "Flowering Dignity Colibri" stands as a piece of resistance and celebrates cultural heritage, inviting viewers to find beauty and strength in its intricate layers and the message it conveys.

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.
