SERENA SALERNO
My art is all about the bright colors and energy of nature, combining vivid acrylic paints with a playful imagination. I draw endless inspiration from sea creatures and animals on land, bringing them to life in a way that feels both magical and lively. The bold colors in my work aim to capture the unique beauty of these creatures.
I also love adding cartoon characters to my art, which brings a fun touch to my paintings. This mix of real-life animals and playful, animated elements creates a unique style that invites viewers to see these creatures in a new and exciting way.
Through my paintings, I want to offer a joyful escape where colors and shapes come together to celebrate the wonder of nature. My goal is to connect with viewers and make them see the natural world in a fresh, vibrant, life.

EMMANUEL CAMPOS PEREZ (DEBER)
My artwork is abstracted personal storytelling. A mix of mediums, mainly spray paint and acrylics. Graffiti art permeates all my work, and the themes I try to communicate with it. I try to convey a feeling more than a straightforward message.
I am inspired by many friends that share a lifelong dedication to Graffiti as an art form, as well as many Old Western artists.
I have dedicated most of my life to painting Graffiti, and I will always strive to paint more and more of it. I see my Canvas paintings as another way of exercising my craft and projecting the aesthetics and skills I have learned for a broader audience.
To me Art is not means to an end, is the end itself.
I started painting graffiti and murals in Chihuahua Mexico at the age of 13, and from there on it has been a constant part of life. Now I want to share with the public a window into the ideas that keep me passionate and compromised to this craft.
