"The Eyes Chico" is a custom commissioned collage painting that blends the ambition of the American Dream with iconic imagery and romance. It provides a sense of Miami history and displays the flair of a bygone era. Centered is a striking representation of a staple pop culture quote that celebrates the boldness of going after what one wants. Beyond the classic romantic meaning of the quote, it emphasizes that one's eyes are the window to determination, perseverance, and truth by visualizing one's desires.
 
This piece was hand-painted using high-quality acrylic paints over a wooden stretched canvas. The background contains of many vintage magazines, newspapers, and postcards, all from 1980 or around that time. They were carefully cut and thoughtfully placed to create many scenes. The entire piece is top-coated with a thick epoxy resin for a beautiful shine and reflection. It is UV and moisture resistant.
