distinct exploration of indigenous subject

surroundings greatly influenced his artistic
journey.  His mastery of color, strong line, bold
fields of paint, and vibrant, expressive

limit in deeper meanings. He painted saturated
and vivid portraits of people and animals.

Hispanic, and Western influences to highlight

cultural preservation and understanding, Nieto's
paintings encourage dialogue around the natural
world and indigenous history.
