More about the Tortilla Paintings from Joe Bravo’s website:

Joe Bravo has become quite well known for his innovative use of tortillas as a ground for traditional painting. Here’s what he has to say about his works: “I use the Tortilla as a Canvas because it is an integral part of the Hispanic Culture and my heritage. For the subject matter of my tortilla paintings, I use imagery that is representative of Latinos, conveying their hopes, art, beliefs and history. As the tortilla has given us life, I give it new life by using it as an art medium.”
