Isaac Vazquez Avila (b.1983 Mexico City) is a painter and sculptor living in San Francisco California. Avila’s practice embellishes real world observations with his imagination. His work depicts symbolic references, often dream-like and inspired by the visual language of both his environment and subconscious. These elements are linked by the artist’s process-oriented eye finding poetry in the interplay between art and life. Vazquez Avila’s work draws from a mix of aesthetic traditions, from Cubist and pre hispanic stone sculpture to Carlos Almaraz’ imagery of urban conflagration, to heraldic imagery, retablo painting, collage sign painting and C.G Jung.These influences coalesce into a distinctive visual vocabulary that bridges history, mythology, and personal narrative. @aliencitizen
