Respected Colorado artist Emilio Lobato was born in San Pablo, a small farming town in the San Luis Valley of Southern Colorado. Lobato credits the region’s history of creativity, necessity, and spirituality as major inspirations in his work. A Mi Manera, or My Way, is a survey of Lobato’s work beginning in 1982. Lobato’s work weaves together lifelong themes of loneliness, isolation, tradition, and culture, using abstraction to reduce his subject to its basic elements. A Mi Manera is on view at the Arvada Center's Main Gallery from September 14 - November 12, 2023.
