I was inspired by this building for its modern architecture, color scheme, and ambiance. This is Echo Park in Los Angeles. Born in 1990 I knew Echo Park as an immigrant community. It was an area of cheap rent, dive bars, and Mexican food. Then suddenly a new community of young white folks appeared. Landlords began to raise rent and brown people were evicted out of their homes. This is gentrification. However, the park has become a safe place for black, brown, and white people to mix. I return to this park throughout the year observing the changing landscape. Painted at Echo Park Lake for the Plein Air Festival in Los Angeles in 2018.

Francisco J. Palomares has used art to overcome the socioeconomic obstacles of his East L.A. neighborhood since his youth. He transformed these challenges into opportunities, seeing each street as a visual narrative that reflected the ever-changing environment. His early dedication to drawing and painting led him to train at Ryman Arts and earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts from California State University, Long Beach. Francisco further expanded his artistic horizons by studying in Florence, Italy, and Guangzhou, China. After his travels, he returned to Boyle Heights, where he established his studio, PalomaresBLVD. In this creative space, Francisco captures the dynamic and often clashing streets of Los Angeles, illustrating the complex, diverse cityscapes through his paintings. His work invites viewers to walk in his shoes, offering a profound exploration of what it means to work, live, and play in the City of L.A.
