Artist Statement
I am a mixed media artist from Los Angeles, California. My work investigates my mixed Chicano experience, indigenous roots, urban planning, and wellness in an effort to uplift Latinx communities.
I depict city maps, cultural objects, and vibrant neighborhoods in central L.A. with a focus on color and composition. The personal narratives imbedded on walls and stretched canvas dissect the systems of oppression that prevents generational wealth, community healing and access to green spaces in communities of color.
I draw inspiration from cultural and historical landmarks, architecture, archeology, and Latin American folk art to connect with my indigenous roots. I use materials such as acrylic, house paint, and aerosol and paint on any surface imaginable to build relationships with small businesses and local communities throughout Los Angeles, Inland Empire and abroad.
My work includes painting, mural, and design. I have exhibited widely in both California and Mexico and received numerous awards and recognition for my public artworks in Los Angeles.
