Culture Curation

American artist and designer Chris Maestas (b.1984) began his creative journey immersed in the urban environment of Los Angeles as a graffiti writer and skateboarder in the 1990s. Inspired by the beauty of graffiti art and 90s street culture, his early work reflects the disruptive and rebellious energy of these movements.

Currently, Chris's work spans various mediums, including acrylic, oil-based enamel, spray paint, 3D, and digital art. He is focusing on generative AI processes to explore new avenues of creativity. His AI artworks often depict city scenes infused with the punk and avant-garde spirit, adapted to the digital age.

Chris's artwork has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York, Japan, and Europe.

Chris graduated in 2013 from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena with a Bachelor of Science in Automotive Design/Industrial Design.
