Sayra Reyes, April 2012

Sayra Reyes is an Oakland native with a Mexican American heritage. Her art reflects that of Picasso, Rivera and Kahlo. Tribal beats pound through her art pieces, while her Mexican American  persona is also strongly stated. Using acrylic paint, her bright colors highlight the rich culture that is of Latinos, gays, soulful musicians and women. Her subjects are subjected to the expression of their essence; portraying not only their outer self but inner self emphasized in their facial expressions.
