Elizabeth Maldonado: capstone

Abstract

The artist's statement: Elizabeth Maldonado is a Colorado painter pursuing her BFA at Colorado State University. Her work explores the themes of memory, identity and nostalgia through the reimagining of notable Batman video game characters. She alters the original characters' faces to create new identities that resonate with her personal childhood memories. Her medium of acrylic paint allows her to focus on the fluidity of these changing characters. Her inspiration for her current series stems from the video games she played growing up and the notable characters that make them.
