About Brian
As I sculpt and draw luchadors, I'm transported to my youth, a time when action figures and boundless imagination were my world. This sense of play is integral to my work, inviting viewers to reconnect with their own cherished memories of childhood and exploring the world around them- a time when imagination reigned supreme.
The luchador figures serve as a bridge between my mixed Mexican and Irish heritage and the broader experience of holding diverse identities. Through ceramics, I tap into the power of nostalgia, the 90’s, and Saturday morning cartoons to tell the viewer of my past, my present, and my future, inviting the audience to share in the joy of remembering and rediscovering the playfulness of our own pasts.
