The View from the East End 2011

1609 Dumble St.,

Houston, TX 77023



In this mural, Jesse Sifuentes’ vision was to depict the unique story of Eastside Houston, the city, and the state. In addition, he wanted to incorporate Mexican-Americans' influence on Texas' history in his work. The woman in the painting is surrounded by noted Texas places such as the Alamo and the San Jacinto Monument, and Sifuentes depicts the numerous methods of transportation throughout Texas' history -- a wagon, train, ships in the Houston Ship Channel and the space shuttle. The wildlife in the painting -- a longhorn, the desert tortoise, and wild hare -- represent the different aspects of Texas. Sifuentes works in both painting and mosaic tile, and his murals speak to the life and history of the community in which he works.
