ABOUT

Peruvian-born and raised in Southern California during the 80s, Eddy’s art is rooted in the early days of Los Angeles hip-hop, embracing MCing, DJing, breakdancing, and graffiti. His work blends rebellion, expression, and innovation, drawing from influences as varied as illuminated manuscripts, Caravaggio’s dramatic chiaroscuro, the raw energy of graffiti icons like RIFF 170, and the satirical style of Mad Magazine. Eddy’s creations bridge the sacred, provocative, and streetwise, making his art timeless and boundary-breaking.

Eddy’s work, best described as Urban Surrealism, merges the dreamlike symbolism of surrealism with the bold aesthetic of urban art. His paintings tell stories that shift between reality and fantasy, exploring themes of duality, transformation, and the human experience. He blends the sacred with the profane, tradition with modernity, creating a world where mysticism intersects with everyday life.

His musical works pay tribute to the radio mixes he grew up listening to (1580 AM KDAY!), blending tracks from his youth—salsa, soul, classic rock, and more—layered over golden-era rap breakbeats. The result aims to captures the pulse of early hip-hop while creating something entirely new and fresh.

Eddy’s animations breathe life into his art, creating dynamic visual stories that extend the themes found in his paintings. Through these moving images, he intertwines surrealism, symbolism, and cultural commentary, allowing viewers to experience his art in motion.

Whether rendered in acrylic, digital, pen, Animations, or nostalgic soundscapes, Eddy’s work remains unmistakably his own—a testament to the spirit of expression that defined his early graffiti days. With a style that pushes past genres and a voice that bridges cultures, Eddy’s art is a reflection of the complexities of life, rich in layers, fortified with symbolism, vitamins, and minerals, offering a feast for the eyes, ears, and mind.
