“Mi Bodegón” by Sophia Basaldúa | AP Drawing Sophia Basaldúa’s work was selected for the AP Art and Design Digital Exhibit, which features exceptional artwork from AP students’ final portfolios. See our story or highlight to learn more about Sophia’s work. From Sophia: “The style I reference is the Bodegón style; however, it varies in that typical Bodegón paintings show food as still life, while my version shows a collection of family heirlooms meaningful to me. It references the religion and culture of Peru. The textile in the background is a traditional Peruvian manta. The four pendants are family heirlooms influenced by Catholic beliefs. One is a cross encrusted with jewels, while the exterior pendants depict Saint Jude and Baby Jesus. The center pendant has no religious engravings; it instead shows a reflection of the church that my family has attended since their arrival to this country where many familial ceremonies were held, including my grandparents’ memorials.” #APArt #AP...
