Reflections
The Works of Joe R. Villarreal
Joe R. Villarreal (American, b. 1953)
Reflections
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated ’95, l.r.
30 x 40 inches
Growing up with three sisters, the artist recalls them taking turns at the mirror. Each girl gazed dreamily at her own reflection contemplating her future. The subject depicts Villarreal’s youngest sister, finally having her turn to view her own youthful face. She sees herself beautiful and blooming. Looking carefully, the viewer sees the reflection of a red rose in the mirror… a rose that is not a reality. In reality, the vase on the dressing table is empty…the little girl has not bloomed…but in her dreams she will.
