Zaida Machado, a 24-year-old artist from Mexico, developed her passion for art as a child, but it flourished when she moved to the United States.
Zaida Machado is proud to call herself Latina. She says the culture is rich and vibrant, from the food to the clothing to the people.
"I don't move from a spot until I finish it, kind of like building a puzzle, and in the end, it just comes all together," Machado said."It's kind of risky because if you don't get the right color or the right value at the end, you're going to have a distorted red spot painting." "I took art classes, and I didn't speak English, so to have something where I didn't feel pressure to speak, I thought this was actually perfect," Machado said.
Out of all of her pieces that she spent hours working on, there was one that stood out among the rest and was the center of the exhibit—all paintings leading to her.
