Jeffrey Bowen Last month, Pepperdine Libraries opened its exhibition of Johnny Quintanilla's paintings and drawings in the Payson Library Exhibit Gallery. His works are full of symbolism, and even though he likes when viewers form their own meanings about the works, for him they’re deeply personal. His identity as a Salvadoran American who celebrates Los Angeles’ Latino heritage is evident in his work. Director of library programming and public affairs Jeffrey Bowen examined the religious iconography in Quintanilla's art, particularly in his depictions of the Virgin of Guadalupe.
