Label TextAna Serrano is a first-generation Mexican American artist. Her art is inspired by the intersection of her cultural identities. Serrano is captivated with how residents alter and adorn their dwellings, and she uses vibrant color to represent these environments. These works highlight the socio-cultural and architectural elements of urban life in Latino neighborhoods in LA. The houses made out of cardboard and other materials represent Serrano’s Latina heritage, as well as the natural and man-made elements of urban life.
