I'm Andres, a self-taught Artist and Muralist from Ocala, Florida.

My art IS a blend of dynamic acrylic and mixed media. ITS where I bring my childhood loves to life: Pop Culture, Comic Heroes, and Cultural narratives.

Like many kids, I was obsessed with drawing superheroes, making my own paper action figures when I couldn't get the real ones. For years, art was just a hobby. I never saw it as a career, and honestly, almost went to college for criminal justice instead.

My life and my purpose changed in 2020. As I faced the reality of my grandmother’s battle with pancreatic cancer, I picked up a paintbrush and discovered a profound outlet. Painting wasn't just art; it was how I processed, coped, and found strength. My grandmother was my biggest cheerleader, and before she passed, she instilled the courage in me to truly follow this path. Her support is the foundation and motivation for every piece I create.

I've since committed myself fully, working out of the Magnolia Art Xchange (where I now serve on the Board) and expanding my practice to include murals, mentorship, and live painting.

To keep my hands busy and my mind open, I work full-time overnights as an Aviation Line Service Technician. Yes, I fuel airliners! It's fun, it keeps me grounded, and it funds my artistic passion. Working this job while pursuing art full-time isn't easy, but it’s a constant reminder that you don’t have to pick just one dream.

When I’m not working or painting, you can find me finding peace at the gym or out kayak fishing. Follow along as I continue to build this unexpected, beautiful life—one canvas, one mural, and one person at a time.
