The image depicts the parents seated at center, their children standing behind them. The six figures are linked through the intertwining arteries between their hearts—a device made famous in works by Frida Kahlo. Surrounded by various objects that have distinct Mesoamerican symbologies yet also function as bold design elements, Familia expresses a strong familial bond—however it also harkens back to the past in acknowledgement of the artists’ Indigenous heritage and serves as a beacon for future generations. In proclaiming an association to the past, present, and future, Aceves and Carranza told me that the impetus for the print stemmed from how best to express their creative energy during the recent COVID-19 pandemic, as they lived together in isolation from others. The artists explained that during this time they took many family photographs to document their interconnectedness and used one as the template for Familia, which was printed at Self Help Graphics & Art, a local atelier that champions the work of artists primarily from the Latine communities of Southern California. Both Aceves and Carranza were born in Los Angeles of Mexican heritage and met at Theodore Roosevelt High School in Boyle Heights. Neither had any formal art school training and initially never imagined they could become professional artists—what they have learned of their craft is entirely self-taught, developing from a creative drive that allowed their dream to materialize."—Claudine Dixon」10月8日 9時54分
