Years ago, I embarked on the creation of My Little Piñatas with a simple intention—to have a miniature piñata adorning the rearview mirror of my car. Little did I know that this modest vision would evolve into something much larger. Despite searching far and wide, from Los Angeles to Mexico City, I couldn't find exactly what my imagination envisioned. So, I took matters into my own hands, undergoing a journey of trial and error until I perfected a method to mass-produce these little piñatas, imbued with a greater purpose. As a Chicano, my cultural roots and childhood memories have profoundly influenced my creative journey. Piñatas were a cherished tradition at family birthday parties, acting as vibrant symbols that brought us together to celebrate life's milestones in a joyous and festive manner. The lively designs of these piñatas never failed to captivate my imagination; I always yearned to be the one breaking them open. Beyond personal nostalgia, the piñata has served as a unifying force in my community, fostering celebrations that honor our life and culture. It has emerged as an iconic symbol within Latino culture, a fact that fills me with immense pride. My Little Piñatas embodies a celebration of art and culture through its vibrant and distinctive designs. It extends an invitation for everyone to partake in the celebration of Latino culture by preserving these creative, colorful works of art and sharing them with others. It stands as a visual testament deeply rooted in art, community, culture, and history. Designed to endure the test of time, My Little Piñatas are not meant for destruction but rather preservation. This design philosophy reflects my desire for people to cherish their art and culture, sharing it with the world. It encourages a fresh perspective, urging us to transcend preconceived notions and connect with others in celebration of our collective beauty and uniqueness.
