I really like these paintings by Sam Flores..but a lot of his paintings feature women in them with their eyes closed, or just looking sad, and weak. I love the colors and the details in the art, and i want to put it up on my wall, but I don't find it very empowering as a woman...I really want to find an interview with him, or something, where he explains this...if he views women as really weak, that's not the kind of art i want to put up.

Anyone know where i can find out the meaning behind the women in his art? links to interviews and stuff...? thanks so much:)
peace
 
Based in San Francisco Sam Flores creates characters which are hero like. His signatures are that these characters have mostly closed eyes and large hands. The end results is the feeling that these characters are expressing a particular dichotomy in life - simultaneously experiencing ugliness and beauty. “how can the world be so horrible and yet so beautiful at the same time.”
