Carita Feliz 03

In Stefhany Y. Lozano’s Carita Feliz series, watercolor settles into solid forms that feel trimmed straight from paper. The cat’s body is patched together from cool gray washes, its contours snapped into place by crisp white lines and pop red fingertip dots that read like punctuation marks. This sprawling creature is for the people whose happiness is cat dependent, the ones who only achieve equilibrium when a furry dictator has decided they may proceed with joy.
