Juan Fuentes’ La Reyna is a radiant screenprint celebrating the beauty, strength, and cultural sovereignty of Indigenous women. Against a brilliant blue background filled with blooming orange flowers, a young woman gazes thoughtfully to the side, her expression calm yet quietly defiant. Fuentes’ signature carved linework animates her face, hair, and woven shawl, while vibrant color fields elevate the composition into a bold, iconic image. The floral halo surrounding her transforms her presence into one of symbolic royalty—an affirmation of dignity, heritage, and resilience. Created in 2025 in a small edition of just 26, La Reyna exemplifies Fuentes’ lifelong commitment to using art as a vehicle for empowerment and social justice.
