Celia Alvarez Muñoz collected many images for inspiration on her print Quince: traditional quinceañera tiaras, contemporary tattoos, and graffiti books. She calls this “visual shopping” and keeps the clippings around her home and her studio to constantly aid her image development. “You have to allow the work to tell you what it wants to be,” says Muñoz of her creative process.

In her artwork, the word “quince” is curved into an arch to mimic the shape of a tiara, while the gradation of color within the letters is like the unveiling or presentation of la quinceañera at her celebration.
