Artist Bio

Street artist Senkoe creates work rooted in pre-Hispanic art and the world of dreams, reminding us that both come from a single source, pure creation. 

His inspiration to begin mural work came from trains that traveled from California to Mexico, which were covered in graffiti. This had a major part in developing his style as an artist. A core theme in all of his work revolves around identity, as mentioned before. His work provokes an audience to reconnect with what it means to be Mexican, causing discourse within the self to rediscover personal roots.

Senkoe mixes mystical imagery with pop culture references, graphic design and botanical illustration to create colorful and bold creations. He also works with the colors and patterns of traditional Mexican textiles. Using his own Mexican multicultural (Aztec and other ancient cultures) identity, he constructs what is called “narrative graffiti.”
