Artist Reply: Renata, it is for my Latino family, the colors are for them and the rose is for the Braceros Blood that is spilled. I am glad you like it. It means so much to me. Renata, you are very kind to comment. miguel

Artist Reply: Renata, always the kindest words flow from your mouth like honey from a spiget. My whole studio is filled with your words. They float like delightful pollen from sweet blooms from Venus. miguel.

Artist Reply: I have always had a saying to my Latino friends who there are so many of in many countries and this one as well. I have worked beside such talent in the culinary field and the one thing they used to say to me is miguel how come your were born a Guero....that is a white man for the uninitiated and I would tell them my ass is in the states but my corazon will always be in Mexico. It is a statement about the deportment of the backbone of the workers of this country. I have had many races of people work for me in many places and no one was so interested in learning and working hard as my Latino family. So it is with love that I remember them and I am saddened by the way they must be treated. Starve in their own country or sneak like thieves to this. The honesty of the Latino has to do with saving face in family and God, not fear or reprisal. so this is for my Latino family and one special woman who has woke me from a deep sleep. miguel

Artist Reply: Gabriele, my most gracious thanks for your compliment. I am honored. miguel
