“My work represents subjects, situations, and emotions in a reductive visual language. The indelible impressions of our experiences shape what we are inside: our contradictions, hopes, addictions, ego, love, self awareness, doubts — all part of a complex composition that exudes a type of wavelength, vibe, or presence that is projected outward. Each composition is drawn from the immaterial and intangible by way of what we can’t see, but feel, with the intent of being equatable as to who, or what,...

As children, we are generally acutely aware and connected to the observations that shape us. As we age, our perspectives evolve, becoming rather adulterated by judgments and dictates of society. Analog film and alternative processes are creatively freeing to me in a time too often leveraged by the omnipresence and immediacy of technology. Polaroids infuse elements of intimacy and tangibility; with them I reconnect the surreal and beautiful with the otherwise familiar, making visible life and ene...

I am often obsessed with comparisons of reality and potential and the balance between them, in art: the idea of chaos in perfect order: an object seemingly solid to the eye can also be fragile and inconsistent to the touch; a common object used to create a piece of art becomes transformed into something complicated and intriguing. https://www.augustoesquivel.com/

“I create stories. Each piece is a part of a bigger conversation I’m having with the audience. Paper, wood panels, street signs, found objects, and aluminum sheets are some of my canvases. I choose the medium depending on each surface. Constantly moving between different points in time and space is what influences me. Have you ever been to someone’s house where nothing matches? From the furniture you’re sitting on, the frames on the wall, and the silverware on your plate, but it all feels right?...
