Zaida Machado is proud to call herself Latina; the vibrancy of her culture is showcased through her paintings.
ST. GEORGE, UTAH — Zaida Machado is proud to call herself Latina. She says the culture is rich and vibrant from the food to the clothing to the people. The vibrancy of her culture is showcased through her paintings, each painted with a perfect brush stroke on canvas.
Machado is a 24-year-old artist, originally from Mexico, who lives in Southern Utah. She's been doing art since she was a kid but started to take it seriously in high school when she moved to the United States. After winning an art contest put on by the Consulado de Mexico, Machado got her own exhibit at their building, featuring several paintings she created over the past couple of years. Machado's inspiration was the role of Mexican women, their fashion, and multiple states in Mexico.
Out of all of her pieces she spent hours working on, there was one that stood out among the rest and was the center of the exhibit -- all paintings leading to her.
