The word solar relates to the sun, denoting its light and warmth. In Spanish it can also signify a piece of land or terrain, or may relate to an ancestral home or lineage, a homeland or fatherland; el solar is a courtyard, patio or backyard.

There is warmth, vibrancy, and an organic quality to the colors, forms, materials, and general subject matter the artists employ and represent.

Concepts and ideas pertain to history, environment (natural and urban), culture, and identity.

Works generally do not shock but rather move and challenge the viewer emotionally and intellectually, as well as aesthetically.
