Here is a very personal mural that I am currently displaying at the SAP Center (aka Sharks Arena) in San Jose. The San Jose Sharks partnered with Teal Inner Circle, Zoom, and Local Color to display six murals from local artists, and mine was one of them. Each piece is 28 feet by 8 feet.
The prompt for the artwork was to show what San Jose means to me. The images below are what I came up with.
My thoughts about the piece:
Title: Old SJ
This is my Love Letter to San Jose. It’s inspired by my experience growing up here during
the 80’ and 90’s. It’s also reminiscent of the life stories of those who came before my time. It is the spirit of
my relatives, roots, and a way of life that fades in and out of this city as times change. Just as it had
changed for my Grandparents, so too will ‘Old SJ' change for me.
