The immigrants in the artwork of Jorge Crespo tell a story of identity, humor, humanity and of the fantastic. They come to their new environments in parades like sad circus performers, or in boats with toy like horses and musical instruments. They bring with them symbolic empty cages and wear their wears upon their heads and chests to hide their thoughts. The colors brighten the somber images. The tones and shading of the masked and magical characters emerge from the matrix to tell their stories of an old life in a new place.
