Artist Statement: "As Chicano artist, my work deals with the nuanced representation of the plight of working life, and the struggles of finding acceptance/purpose while highlighting melancholic beauty in lived experiences. I am fascinated by drawing as it can be an accessible process with limited materials that lead to infinite possibilities for imagery. Through the use of saturated color and imagined textures/characters prevalent in the tradition of Mexican imagery, I create motifs and iconography to reflect past experiences of life lost and capturing life’s sincerity through ideas of my own existential melancholia. I reference the works of William Blake, and the writings of the rap duo OutKast. The post punk band IDLES, Tejano group La Mafia, and many others serve as personal nostalgia markers through the years."Artwork Details
