His piece, "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," is a vibrant celebration of cultural identity, resilience, and the spirit of resistance. This original one-of-a-kind sprayed paint stencil painting on cotton rag art paper encapsulates the ethos of Montejano's artistic vision—Hecho Con Ganas, or "made with effort and desire." Signed by the artist, this 20.5"x 26.5" artwork reflects Montejano's commitment to creating pieces that are not only visually captivating but also imbued with social and political commentary. Symbolism and Technique in Montejano's Work In "Turtle Island Ganas Collage," Montejano employs the turtle, a creature revered in many indigenous cultures for carrying the world on its back, as a central figure symbolizing the earth and the interconnectedness of life. The term "Turtle Island" is a name for the North American continent used by several Native American tribes, and its inclusion in the title ties the piece to themes of heritage and land. Montejano's choice of materials—100% cotton rag paper with hand-deckled edges—complements the organic subject matter, grounding the piece in tradition and craftsmanship. The hand-sprayed stencils create a sharp contrast characteristic of graffiti art, while the intricate details and layering echo the complexities of pop art imagery.
