I was commissioned by the Washington Arts Commission to photograph this incredible 15×40 mural by the Miami based muralist Don Rimx entitled “La Vision Guiada” which hangs in the cafeteria of Ridgeline High School in Liberty Lake Washington. It’s a complex piece featuring the face of a woman from a distance, but intricate details when viewed up close. With vibrant colors, shapes, and lines it is a conversation starter for the students and visitors. View more about the project on the ArtsWA website.
“La Vision Guiada by Don Rimx represents the path we achieve by following our passions. It is about the daily effort we make that leads to our futures. It is meant to inspire a creative environment and also to connect with the students. The mural includes the following symbols: A young woman represents the students, and a falcon represents focus and leadership. A book symbolizes education. Plants, vines, and cantalope flowers symbolize growth, a connection with nature, and fruits that are harvested with time and effort. The woody vines also create a visual structure that ties the symbols together and creates movement. The title means “The Guided Vision” in Spanish, which is the artist’s original language.
Rimx notes that “Art, like this mural, sensitizes us and stimulates conversations, learning, and reflection. Introspection will inspire students to reflect on their daily life, development, and discipline. This will help them enjoy the process of discovery, learning, and knowledge.” – arts.wa.gov – Credit: La Vision Guidada, 2021, by Don Rimx. Commissioned by ArtsWA and Central Valley School District.
