In love with Colonial Baroque

"Rosario de Besos " by Ray Martin Abeyta
"Mano O Mano" by Ray Martin Abeyta
"Distillacion" by Ray Martin Abeyta

By coincidence I came across these wonderful paintings. Ray Martin Abeyta is a contemporary master of colonial baroque paintings. He combines successfully the historical style of colonial retabolo paintings and the modern iconography of lowbrow culture. I would love to see his work up close.
