DONUT TALK

The DONUT EXPERIENCE followed the Opening, on Saturday, June 7th, 2025, when Francisco talked about his paintings:

CHICO'S TACOS

Maybe they should have served Chico's Tacos instead of Donuts. Venus de Milo stands in in a raft of CHICO'S TACOS while floating down the Rio Grande in this painting:

This is not the first time that Chico's Tacos surfaced in one of Francisco's works. Pancho Villa is enjoying a plate of Chico's Tacos in the mural Francisco painted on the Sagrada Corazon church in downtown El Paso, next to the Mexican border:

PRINTS

Francisco Delgado has made some marvelous prints:


There was also an opening at ARTES DE CUBA in Santa Fe, the same night of Francisco's opening at HECHO A MANO. The next day Francisco and I visited the gallery, and were fortunate enough to meet the Cuban Artists:
