Similar to her experiences as a bicultural woman, the lens by which Cyndi Hidalgo-Knies creates is complex and ever evolving. Each of her works is composed of an amalgamation of media that represent Hidalgo-Knies' experiences with negotiating her identity as an American-born Mexicana. She is best known for her paintings and murals that are rich with cultural symbolism and personal allegory. Many of these works incorporate oils, acrylics, pastels and gold leafing onto canvas, wood or concrete.
