EMMANUEL GALVEZ (b.1991)
Cinco Niños Envueltos (Five “Niños Envueltos”)

2014
21 7/8 x 14 7/8 in.
​55.6 x 37.8 cm.

soft pastels and oil pastel on watercolor paper, collection of Cindy Ojeda.
pasteles suaves y pastel al óleo sobre papel de acuarela, colección de Cindy Ojeda.
The type of cake in this image, called a niño envuelto (swaddled baby), is a jelly roll commonly found in Mexico and in Mexican pastry shops in Los Angeles.  While the image may evoke memories of childhood or connections to Mexican culture, the artist has rendered the candy-colored sweets as grand 3-dimensional forms, as if they were sculptures or monuments.

El tipo de pastel de esta imagen, llamada niño envuelto, es un rollo de gelatina que se encuentra comúnmente en México y en las pastelerías mexicanas en Los Ángeles. Si bien la imagen puede evocar recuerdos de la infancia o conexiones con la cultura mexicana, el artista ha convertido los dulces en grandes formas tridimensionales, como si fueran esculturas o monumentos.
