the artist and the art |
My name is Wilfredo Menendez. I am currently an art student at Ronald Wilson Reagan College Prep High School in Milwaukee.
Art is my therapist, art is my way of getting rid of my stress. Even though at times some techniques prove to be very difficult and frustrating, I still enjoy it. I enjoy it because even in a assignment I get to show my style and techniques. I also get to express my personal ideas through my art. I'm very interested in politics and hope to make a career out of it. Many of my pieces, mainly from my senior year, have political meanings. Another thing that has an impact on many of my works is my culture. I came to the Wisconsin from Puerto Rico when I was 8. So I have many vivid images of my country, and I use these in my works whenever I can. |
