Mis Hermanos was inspired by a snapshot of a weekend family get-together where siblings gather for a photo, their eyes perhaps focused on multiple cameras. Treviño was attracted to such commonplace yet personally meaningful subjects after returning as a wounded Vietnam veteran to his hometown of San Antonio, Texas. Treviño’s photorealist paintings monumentalize everyday people and places not traditionally viewed as icons of the United States.
