Voy depicts a young girl returning from a quick supermarket trip. In her black plastic bag are nods to various Latinx ingredients like nopal (cactus), canola oil, plantain, sazón (Latino seasoning), and a pack of chicken to cook. Trotting behind her is the small, white, & loyal family dog. Voy depicts the early independence of a latino native New Yorker; a special kind of freedom that only exists in an inner city context.

Original Artwork: Oil, acrylic, & color pencil on canvas (11 x 14 in)

Gabriel Pilar Pala is a Peruvian-American queer artist who was born and raised in West Harlem, New York. He received his Bachelor Of Fine Arts in Illustration in 2024 from the School Of Visual Arts. Gabriel is known for his mixed-media paintings which depict bold, colorful, and expressive portraiture that highlight the vibrancy of the BIPOC community. A distinctive trait of his practice is incorporating unique materials—such as braces and pearls—onto his paintings. This harmonious blend of 3D elements with traditional painting creates a dynamic and fun visual experience.
