Colorful Signed Expressionist Painting of Gandhi from Mexico, "Illuminated"

Mexican artist Mercedes Collado paints a colorful, vibrant composition, hoping to express herself and share her emotional experience with the viewer. Working in the expressionist style, she paints the historical figure Gandhi, remembered for leading a peaceful Indian revolution against British colonization. Says Collado, "I think that Ghandhi was a person with light. The fireflies and Gandhi express the way both possess their own light."

Titled Iluminado in Spanish.
