Hector Boldo is originally from Mexico City, and was raised between the U.S and Mexico. He has been living in the United States for fourteen years, and recently became a U.S. Citizen. He started experimenting with art at the age of 17, and continues to explore and learn different ways to express his creativity. His work is dynamic, full of color, and reflective of his roots, mood, and personality. In his work he uses oils, acrylics, or mixed media to deconstruct Mexican culture and American pop culture, folkloric dancing, celebrities, his dreams, and finds inspiration in other artists like Diego Rivera, Ashley Longshore, Alonsa Guevara and others. Hector's works start off as a sketch in his book, an emotion, a photograph found online, or a random thought. Often times this inspiration comes in waves and he will paint a series in one theme, letting one piece inspire the other. Painting multiple pieces with a single theme in mind is one of the things he is passionate about. Hector enjoys experimenting with various mediums and learning how to incorporate those into his works. He continues to grow as an artist by exploring the many medias and is excited by all the amazing possibilities they can bring when combined. His favorite art quote is: "Have no fear of perfection—you’ll never reach it." Salvador Dalí
