25 paintings by the artist Cornelio Campos will be displayed at several Durham County Library locations during Hispanic Heritage Month. Cornelio Campos is a self taught Mexican American artist based in Durham, NC. Mr. Campos immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico as a teenager, a journey and process that now influence many of his paintings. Vibrant colors, iconic American symbols, and intricate geometric patterns define Mr. Campos' works. Modern yet traditional, and deeply personal, the paintings of Cornelio Campos illustrate complex realities of migrant life that are often concealed.
