Nelson de la Nuez's "Cowgirls" is a dynamic pop art composition featuring a gun-wielding cowgirl adorned in bold blue and pink attire and a cowboy hat. Outlined in thick blue strokes, she exudes a vibrant energy against a collage backdrop of iconic pop culture images, including Mickey Mouse, comic book exclamations like "Bang!", and a "Bullseye," intertwined with graffiti designs. De la Nuez's fusion of Western aesthetics and pop culture elements creates a visually arresting narrative within this spirited and eclectic piece.
