Heart Coloring Page, Day 20 Featuring Ricardo Estrada
A native Angelino, Ricardo Estrada’s work reflects the essence of his community. Estrada’s work is a mixture of multiple philosophies that cross-generational gaps and portrays the complexity of the Mexican American identity. Before acquiring his B.A. in studio arts from CSULA he was fortunate to study under Jim Uyekawa at East Los Angeles College. It was at ELAC where he had the opportunity to work closely with Raul Anguiano (Mexican muralist). Estrada’s fascination with the syncretism that exists in the Mexican American culture continues to be evident in his work. Estrada continues to paint murals with various artists whom share his beliefs in beautifying and educating communities.
