About
Jaime Ochoa draws inspiration from Mexican muralists like David Alfaro Siquerios, African American artist Charles White, and Los Angeles street art blending historical and contemporary influences into his work. He employs mixed mediums and recycled materials, acrylics, aerosols, stencils and linocut print making to create paintings that reflect a vibrant tapestry of social, political, and Meso-American iconography.
His art celebrates life, honors past traditions, and commemorates loved ones. Blending the use of ancient imagery and an homage to nature, Jaime conveys a deep connection to heritage and love for the outdoors.
Marina Hernandez's pieces are heartfelt explorations of identity, culture, and the transformative power of creativity. Marina has a passion for collecting vinyl and vintage clothes which influences her work blending music, fashion, and an appreciation of 1950's Mexican cinema. Marina's collage work is a rich tapestry that celebrates the interconnectedness of these influences alongside topics of beauty, pain, and healing.
Marina incorporates repurposed materials into new creations celebrating the nostalgia of the past while contributing to sustainable art practices for a unique aesthetic that reflects her personal, spiritual, and healing experiences.
