New Painting: San Benito
San Benito de Palermo
Oil on canvas
30" x 24"
2013
Benedict the Moor, O.F.M., (Italian: San
Benedetto il Moro, 1526 – April 4, 1589) was an Italian Franciscan friar
in Sicily who is venerated as a saint in the Catholic[1] and Lutheran
churches.[2] Born of Moorish (or
African) slaves, he was freed at birth and became known for his charity.
As a young man he joined a Franciscan-affiliated hermit group, whose
leader he became. In 1564 he was sent to the Franciscan friary in
Palermo, where he continued good works.
Veneration of Benedict is spread throughout Latin America, from Mexico through Argentina. In Venezuela, particularly, his devotion is spread through the country's various states, and he is celebrated on many different dates, according to the local traditions.

New painting: March Of Heroes
March of Heroes
72" x 60"
oil on Canvas
2013
March of Heroes
This painting is about the formation of what to many at the
time was the promise land, “America.” Which includes North, South and Central
America.
Standing in the middle, riding his white horse is Simon
Bolivar(The Liberator) .
Bolívar played a key role in Latin America's successful
struggle for independence from the Spanish Empire, and is today considered one
of the most influential politicians in the history of the Americas. Bolívar
participated in the foundation of the first union of independent nations in
Hispanic-America, a republic, known as Gran Colombia, of which he was president
from 1819 to 1830. Bolívar remains regarded in Hispanic-America as a hero,
visionary, revolutionist, and liberator. During his lifetime, he led Venezuela,
Colombia (including Panama at the time), Ecuador, Peru (together with Don José
de San Martín), and Bolivia to independence, and helped lay the foundations for
democratic ideology in much of Latin America.
On the left, is Toussaint Louverture. He was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. His
military genius and political acumen led to the establishment of the
independent black state of Haiti, transforming an entire society of slaves into
a free, self-governing people. The success of the Haitian Revolution shook the
institution of slavery throughout the New World.
Toussaint Louverture began his military career as a leader
of the 1791 slave rebellion in the French colony of Saint Domingue. Initially
allied with the Spaniards of neighboring Santo Domingo, Toussaint switched
allegiance to the French when they abolished slavery. He gradually established
control over the whole island, expelled British invaders and used political and
military tactics to gain dominance over his rivals. Throughout his years in
power, he worked to improve the economy and security of Saint Domingue. He
restored the plantation system using paid labour, negotiated trade treaties
with Britain and the United States and maintained a large and well-disciplined
army.
In 1801 he promulgated an autonomist constitution for the
colony, with himself as governor for life. In 1802 he was forced to resign by
forces sent by Napoleon Bonaparte to restore French authority in the former
colony. He was deported to France, where he died in 1803. The Haitian
Revolution continued under his lieutenant, Jean-Jacques D
The figure on the right is George Washington. was the first President of the United States
(1789–1797), the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American
Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He
presided over the convention that drafted the Constitution, which replaced the
Articles of Confederation and established the position of President.
Washington had a vision of a great and powerful nation that
would be built on republican lines using federal power. He sought to use the
national government to preserve liberty, improve infrastructure, open the
western lands, promote commerce, found a permanent capital, reduce regional
tensions and promote a spirit of American nationalism.[5] At death, Washington
was eulogized as "first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of
his countrymen" by Henry Lee.
The face in the middle is Doña Manuela Sáenz
(December 27, 1797, or possibly 1795 – November 23, 1856)
was born in Quito, Viceroyalty of New Granada (Present-day Ecuador) and died in
Paita, Peru. She was a revolutionary hero of South America, who also became the
mistress of the South American revolutionary leader, Simón Bolívar.
She began an eight-year collaboration and intimate
relationship with Bolivar that lasted until his death in 1830. After she
prevented an 1828 assassination attempt against him and facilitated his escape,
Bolivar began to call her, "Libertadora del Libertador", the
'liberator of the liberator' and she was celebrated and given many honors. For
many years after their deaths, their contributions to the revolutions of South
America were suppressed and although those of Bolivar were revived a decade
later and he was returned to the status of a hero, Manuela's role generally was
overlooked until the late twentieth century.
The two figure standing are of a former slave (Left)
welcoming and presenting a golden coin with the shape of America to the ones
who fought for his freedom and a Native American posturing with skepticismm the
arrival of men from strange lands.
The figure on the botton is a hand clothes wringer. In my
vision a saw a piece of cloth coming out with the shape of North and South
American. On top, there is and Angel witnessing the formation of the “New
World.”
