Roberto Benavidez’s stunning piñatas reveal the form’s hidden history of religious colonialism. Beautiful, funny, and political, they are meticulous works of art, inspired by Hieronymous Bosch. A self-described “queer, half-breed South Texan artist,” Roberto hopes his pieces will push the craft of piñatas forward in the art world canon.
