Hispanic Heritage Week: "Los Helados"

Argot is celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month through artwork.

“Los Helados” / Ice Cream

Sury Chavez

From the artist: “This painting is based on a photograph taken in the city of Quetzaltenango, Guatemala. Selling ice cream from a cart is a very popular trade throughout Guatemala. The ice cream man passes at the same time each day, through the same streets, trying to sell all his product to support his family. His work may go unnoticed, but behind the bell with which he makes a call, hide thousands of stories.”
