Guadalupe Hernandez emphasizes the cultural significance of papel picado, stating, "I believe like papel picado is this cultural treasure of Mexico. Whenever you see it, you immediately recognize it as Mexican."
Hernandez expresses his personal connection to his latest exhibit, saying, "The idea behind Con Cariño is kind of like this appreciation for my parents who left their homeland and did all these things to provide for their family."
Worried about the future of the art form, Hernandez states, "I think it's important that I respect that tradition and kind of produce it in this way and then also do workshops..."
Discussing his innovative project, Hernandez says, "I worked with the fabricator to laser cut the designs out of aluminum panels, the structure's complete, and we're just waiting on lighting for it."
