Chris Maestas

American Artist/Designer Chris Maestas (b.1984) has been interacting visually and physically with the urban environment of Los Angeles since his day as a graffiti writer, skateboarder, and automotive enthusiast starting in the early 2000s. Chris was deeply influenced by the transformation brought by the many different sub-cultural elements that Los Angeles underwent in the early 90s. He was Particularly inspired by how the three-dimesional reality of the city was often dressed or transformed to express individuality based on influential sub cultures. There was an urge to stand out. Over the years, this unique relationships of free-from styles of sub cultures mixed with the mathematically accurate execution of design created the foundation for his original approach to paintings called Auto Graffica.
