Elton Monroy, a highly regarded visual artist and muralist, has been a resident of Southwest Detroit since 2015. His passion for celebrating and promoting Mexican and Latino culture through vivid and vibrant murals has garnered attention throughout the city and its surrounding areas. What makes Monroy’s murals so distinctive is their ability to capture traditional Mexican elements and icons while also incorporating members of the Southwest Detroit community.

His artwork not only showcases the beauty and richness of Mexican culture but also highlights the significant contributions of Latinas and Latinos to society. It is no surprise that Monroy was recently honored with the prestigious “Infinity Art Award” by the CasArt Foundation Gala, presented by founder of the CasArt Foundation, Luly Del Real.

Monroy humbly expressed his gratitude for the recognition, emphasizing the importance of respecting and admiring cultural heritage, traditions, and values. The CasArt Foundation also acknowledged the exceptional work of Mexican visual artist Fatima Melendez Mcgrew, whose intricate and colorful artwork impressed the judges.

Luly Del Real, the founder of CasArt, explained that receiving an art award is a crucial stepping stone for artists, as it acknowledges their talent and dedication and serves as a source of inspiration for local artists.

The fifth edition of the CasArt Gala, “Ecos de la Guelaguetza,” featured a plethora of traditional folkloric dances, human alebrijes, Chinas Oaxaca, and other traditional dances from the state of Oaxaca, including the Flor de la Piña dance. Monroy shared that being recognized for his work is an incredible honor, as it acknowledges the significance of the contributions made by the Latino community in Detroit. His dedication to promoting Mexican and Latino culture through his murals has not only beautified the city but has also brought attention to the rich cultural heritage of the community.

“Elton Monroy”, Artista Inmigrante Mexicano, Recibe El Reconocimiento Infinity Art

Elton Monroy, afamado arista visual y muralista, residente del suroeste de Detroit, desde el 2015 se ha dedicado a celebrar y realzar la cultura mexicana y latina en sus murales, los que visten de alegría algunas calles de la ciudad de Detroit y sus alrededores.

Sus creaciones artísticas, en específico sus murales se caracterizan por plasmar tanto elementos e iconos mexicanos como incluir residentes y miembros de la comunidad del suroeste de Detroit, promoviendo así tanto la presencia de latinas y latinos como sus contribuciones a la sociedad.

Por tal motivo, Elton Monroy se hizo merecedor al “Galardon Infity Art”, otorgado por la Luly Del Real, fundadora de CasArt en la quinta edición de la Gala de la fundación CasArt.

“Para mi, el hecho de que las organizaciones reconozcan mi trabajo, en especial, una organización latina, quiere decir que tengo la aprobación de lo que estoy proponiendo, lo que yo siempre quiero es que nos perciban bien, que nos respeten, que entiendan que nuestro legado cultural, tradiciones y valores son importantes y dignos de admiración”, expresó Elton Monroy.

La fundación CasArt entregó también un reconocimiento a la artista visual mexicana Fatima Melendez Mcgrew, que con su colorido y detallado trabajo pone en alto el nombre de México.

“Un premio de arte es una herramienta para el artista en su trayectoria, es un reconocimiento a su talento y dedicación también como una fuente de inspiración o motivación para los artistas locales,” declaró Luly Del Real, fundadora de CasArt.

El tema de la quinta edición de la Gala de CasArt,”Ecos de la Guelaguetza”, ofreció un estupendo viaje a a el estado de Oaxaca, a través del despliegue de bailes folclóricos, impresionantes alebrijes humanos, Chinas Oaxaqueñas, y bailables tradicionales que forman parte de la tradicional Guelaguetza, como la danza Flor de la Piña.

“Es un gran honor ser reconocido por mi trabajo, es un sentimiento especial porque no es un reconocimiento porque pinto bien, si no por valorar la importancia que tiene mi trabajo en reconocer el hecho de que estamos aquí y de que contribuimos a esta sociedad, a la comunidad en la ciudad de Detroit”, manifestó el artista visual y muralista Elton Monroy.
