About the Item

Medium: Screenprint Year: 2025 Image Size: 18 x 12 inches Edition size: 26 Juan Fuentes’ La Reyna is a vibrant and emotionally resonant screen print that exemplifies the artist’s commitment to honoring Indigenous and working-class communities through a bold visual language rooted in resistance and affirmation. At the center of the composition is a young woman rendered in rich, earth-toned hues, her expression thoughtful and introspective. She is surrounded by an explosion of orange blossoms that stand out dramatically against a bright blue background, creating a visual halo effect that elevates her to a place of symbolic royalty. The title, La Reyna—Spanish for “The Queen”—invites viewers to see this figure not simply as a portrait of an individual, but as a representation of strength, dignity, and cultural heritage. Fuentes uses the formal elements of printmaking—particularly line, color, and texture—to communicate deep emotional and political themes. The background is just as intentional and important. A field of stylized flowers rises up behind her, filling the space with rhythmic repetition. These flowers are not passive decoration—they evoke themes of fertility, endurance, and connection to the land. They also function as visual markers of the woman’s importance: like the petals of a crown, they seem to radiate from her head, reinforcing the reverence inherent in the title La Reyna. The flowers stand tall, unwavering, much like the woman herself. The palette—dominated by warm oranges, deep browns, and piercing blues—creates a dynamic contrast that gives the image vitality and immediacy. As a Chicano artist and activist, Juan Fuentes has long used printmaking as a tool for social change. His work often addresses themes of identity, migration, labor, and indigenous rights, and La Reyna fits firmly within this framework. Rather than portray his subject as a victim or passive figure, Fuentes offers a vision of empowerment. In La Reyna, Fuentes blends aesthetics with advocacy, offering viewers an image that is both beautiful and meaningful. The print challenges us to reconsider our ideas of nobility and beauty, especially in a world where indigenous and brown bodies are too often marginalized or rendered invisible. By foregrounding this figure—dressed in deep blue, surrounded by the abundance of blooming flowers, and carved with reverent detail—Fuentes honors the everyday queens among us: the women who carry culture, memory, and strength in the fabric of their lives.. As a cultural activist/artist/printmaker, Juan Fuentes has dedicated his career to being part of a global movement for social change. His works address issues relating to local communities of color, social justice, and international struggles for liberation. The turbulent times of the 70’s set the tone for Fuentes' approach to creating social art. The Chicano, African American, Middle Eastern, Asian and Native American struggles for equality, peace and justice helped shape the themes that recur in his art.
