Ernesto Yerena Montejano's "Yaqui Day of the Dead Copper & Silver Hand-Pulled Silkscreen Print on Fine Art Paper" is an epitome of the fine fusion between cultural representation and modern artistic techniques. The 2019 release is a signed and numbered limited edition, with only 300 prints made available to the public, each measuring 18x24 inches. This piece, like many of Montejano's works, is a testament to the vivid amalgamation of traditional Latino symbols with contemporary art forms like pop, street, and graffiti art. Montejano, who identifies under the moniker 'Hecho Con Ganas', which translates to "Made with Will/Desire," brings forth an intentional depth and pride in his Latino heritage. The piece, illustrating the Yaqui Day of the Dead, captures the essence of a cultural ritual that celebrates the memories of the deceased, a theme which resonates deeply with Latino communities. The choice of copper and silver tones in the silkscreen print adds to the richness of the artwork, giving it a vintage yet timeless appeal. While many view street art or graffiti as ephemeral, the permanence of a hand-pulled silkscreen print like this allows for the preservation and continuation of cultural narratives. This piece, with its intricate details and impeccable technique, stands as a testament not just to Montejano's skill as an artist but also to his commitment to representing, celebrating, and forwarding Latino culture in the world of contemporary art. Montejano's choice of media, combined with the gravitas of the subject matter, ensures that this artwork remains etched in the annals of pop and street art history.
