Samayoa works in several different modes, most prominently with airbrush on canvas, and across media achieves a hauntingly expressive greyscale palette. His works speak to his own Guatemalan and Mexican heritage, his Oakland community, and his Islamic faith; Samayoa taps into the visual power of muralism and the narrative potency of dreams, yet retains the intimacy of memory or whispered prayer. His compositions are layered with meaning, all held within a kind of dreamspace that emphasizes the beauty and power of community. The title of the exhibition comes from the chorus of a 1998 DMX song, which warns the listener that one has to be willing to give everything to the hustle.
