Editorial: Jesse Treviño’s art captured his passion and perseverance, love for San Antonio

“La Veladora of Our Lady of Guadalupe,” a ceramic mural featuring a three-dimensional votive candle at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center is just one of Jesse Treviño’s most prominent public art works.The son of Dolores Treviño was also the son of San Antonio.

Memory called him at this pivotal moment. Memory pulled him home. Memory carried him back to his art. Memory would never let his limbs or mind forget the physical pain sustained in that rice paddy, pain that stalked and hunted him for the rest of his life. The creator of some of San Antonio’s most recognizable public art, Treviño was especially well-known for work that captured small moments of Mexican American life on the West Side where he was raised. Three of his pieces are in the Smithsonian Institution’s American art collection.

But for sheer size and public viewings, Treviño’s largest imprint on San Antonio is his public art including the 93-foot tall “Spirit of Healing” mural of an angel and child on the wall of the Children’s Hospital of San Antonio; the “La Veladora of Our Lady of Guadalupe,” a ceramic mural featuring a three-dimensional votive candle at the Guadalupe Cultural Arts Center; and the 36-foot World War II mural in the Central Library downtown.

A man with morals I’m listening for which candidate has the most effective and innovative ideas to broaden the city’s future for the least economic impact on the residents. No offense, but Jesse White doesn’t rep that for me.! Paul can win if he can get the support of many more like Jesse in the black and Latino communities, His opponent, is far more a threat to Chicago than the loser Lightfoot ever was. Vallas must win, or Chicago is gone forever as a safe and decent place to live or visit.
