Rolos & Icons is a collection of screen-printed paintings of powerful and iconic
Latin women through history – donning the hair rollers, or rolos for Spanish-
speakers. The series is inspired by an earlier piece I created
in 2010 entitled,“Doña Con Rolos.” This original artwork, also a screen-printed
image, features a Dominican woman in hair rollers, gazing and smiling at the
camera. This modern-day Mona Lisa was featured in Peralta solo exhibit at
NoMaa “Complejo,” and resonated with so many people because of its cultural
significance.
