"When I was growing up I was always inspired by my older brother’s drawings. I picked up that style and took it with me to California when I moved to the United States at the age of 16. I quickly found out that Chicano Art was more than just a style. People in the U.S. viewed Chicano Art as a true and deep way of life that differed from my way of living and thinking. I continued trying new styles and creating works of art that many people admired, but it never felt like my artwork was a true expression of myself. After several years of trying different styles, I found myself going back to my roots. Today, my style is a combination of Chicano Art and classic monsters like the Wolfman. Music is another important part of my life which heavily influences my art.” -El Oms
