Lunch / Almuerzo by Michelle Trunzo
2022-12-27
This northern Italian Lago scene depicts, in Michelle鈥檚 own words, 鈥淎 time for lunch," as several families seem to be gathering and joyfully sharing meals beneath the bright sunlight. Once again, she graces her canvas with European architecture, with additional specific detail to the tall trees, as well as the fence in the distance which conveys a remarkable depth of space. Esta escena del lago del norte de Italia representa, en las propias palabras de Michelle, "Un tiempo para almorzar", mientras varias familias parecen reunirse y compartir comidas con alegr铆a bajo la brillante luz del sol. Una vez m谩s, ella adorna su lienzo con la arquitectura europea, con detalles espec铆ficos adicionales a los 谩rboles altos, as铆 como a la valla en la distancia que transmite una notable profundidad de espacio.
Here is another depiction of Hemingway鈥檚 green sailboat. This time it is docked, presumably waiting for boarding. The reflection of the surroundings renders an ominous and foreboding mood.

2022-09-11
Herein is depicted El Morro, the historical landmark in Cuba. Named after the three biblical magi as the 鈥淐astle of the Three Wise Men of the Rock" ("Morro Castle"), the fortress guards the entrance into Havana bay. The design was created by engineer Batista Antonelli and built in 1589. This mighty structure, symbolic of Cuba鈥檚 resilience, has endured oscillating historical moments of conquest, colonialism, dictatorship, and revolution for over 531 years. Michelle stated many times that her artwork will also last for over five hundred years. Michelle portrayed the precise detail of the stone blocks of the fort, which affix it sturdily onto the cliff. Aqu铆 se representa El Morro, el hito hist贸rico de Cuba. Nombrada en honor a los tres magos b铆blicos como el "Castillo de los Tres Reyes Magos del Morro", la fortaleza protege la entrada a la bah铆a de La Habana. El dise帽o fue creado por el ingeniero Batista Antonelli y construido en 1589. Esta poderosa estructura, s铆mbolo de la resistencia de Cuba, ha soportado momentos hist贸ricos oscilantes de conquista, colonialismo, dictadura y revoluci贸n durante m谩s de 531 a帽os. Michelle declar贸 muchas veces que su obra de arte tambi茅n durar谩 m谩s de quinientos a帽os. Michelle retrat贸 el detalle preciso de los bloques de piedra del fuerte, que lo fijan firmemente en el acantilado.

Of all the government buildings in the world, the one that Michelle admired most was the National Capitol Building of Cuba. To Michelle, it represented life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in her beloved Cuba. As previously mentioned, her revolutionary efforts were focused on fighting for the right of all Cuban citizens to vote in free elections. The Capitol was commissioned by then Cuban president, Gerardo Machado, and was constructed from 1926 to 1928. Built by 5,000 workers, it was deliberately designed to be similar to the United States Capitol; however it is 3 feet taller, 3 feet wider, and 3 feet longer. De todos los edificios gubernamentales del mundo, el que m谩s admiraba Michelle era el Capitolio Nacional de Cuba. Para Michelle, representaba la vida, la libertad y la b煤squeda de la felicidad en su amada Cuba. Como se mencion贸 anteriormente, sus esfuerzos revolucionarios se centraron en luchar por el derecho de todos los ciudadanos cubanos a votar en elecciones libres. El Capitolio fue encargado por el entonces presidente cubano, Gerardo Machado, y fue construido entre 1926 y 1928. Construido por 5,000 trabajadores, fue dise帽ado deliberadamente para ser similar al Capitolio de los Estados Unidos; sin embargo, es 3 pies m谩s alto, 3 pies m谩s ancho y 3 pies m谩s largo.
