Joe Bravo has become quite well known for his innovative use of tortillas as a ground for traditional painting. Here’s what he has to say about his works: “I use the Tortilla as a Canvas because it is an integral part of the Hispanic Culture and my heritage. For the subject matter of my tortilla paintings, I use imagery that is representative of Latinos, conveying their hopes, art, beliefs and history. As the tortilla has given us life, I give it new life by using it as an art medium.” . When somebody has inspiration the art can be developed in anything, here we have a Food Art expression with a mystical beauty, heritage and proud, the colorful result in this original paints its something that you have to enjoy. Check out this Web Site and you will find a different way to express art. 

It seems Joe Bravo is becoming a big enchilada in the art world, selling his paintings for up to $1,800 each, getting recognition from the Food Network, and… Well, yes, the Food Network, because it turns out he does his paintings on tortillas, something he began doing in college because he couldn’t afford to buy canvases.Bravo is seen here with his painting of Che Guevara, inspired by the iconic Alberto Korda photo of the revolutionary. In the tortilla version, the artist says, Che “is wearing sunglasses for that cool look..”Uh, not to quibble with the creative process or anything, but that has been called “the most famous photograph in the world,” and a few people actually think Che looked reasonably cool even without accessorizing.
