The juanita more! Art project
“…this bull is a bull and this horse is a horse… If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings, it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are.” Pablo Picasso

“Eyeliner”, Ritual Coffee Valencia, 2025
Valencia & 21st Street / Artist J. Manuel Carmona, & Aleo Landeta.
Ritual Coffee, founded by Eileen Rinaldi in 2005, has not just built a reputation for producing the best coffee in town but has also nurtured mutually beneficial relationships with everyone they work with, treating them as an integral part of the Ritual family. When they approached me to be their muse and represent Soma Star Cold Brew, they also agreed to donate a portion of their sales proceeds to a nonprofit organization of my choice every year. Working with Ritual Coffee has been an absolute pleasure, and it is the kind of enduring relationship that defines a community's strength. So buy a can of coffee with my face on it!
