by Pamela Diaz Martinez

December 2 - March 30, 2012

Opening Reception:
Friday, December 2 | 5:00 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.

The art of Pamela Diaz Martinez is alive with magical realism, detailed scenes of lifelike clarity with whispers of surreal circumstances that provoke a sense of otherworldliness. Martinez frequently uses her canvases to address the ever-present pull between the physical and the spiritual.

Like a palindrome, a word or phrase that is spelled the same forwards or backwards (such as “civic,” “racecar,” or “Was it a rat I saw?”), many of the pieces in Following Palindrome Series #2: Conversion offers surprises and revelations for those that explore the drawings' and paintings' themes and intricacies from all angles.

Exhibitions in the Latino Arts Gallery are open to the public Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. for a suggested donation of $1.
