About the Artist
I’m from La Frontera, the border from Tijuana and San Diego, two sister cities with un Corazon, separated by a metal barrier that carves its way between two countries, the US and Mexico*.

Mezarte takes on Surrealism revealing "Lo Obscuro", the obscure side of the world.
Meza's creations reflects the animal nature in every being, both the disgusting and the arousing feelings of the subconscious. His paintings express what most of us think or feel but do not accept. Sex is a piece of eternity, while money is only a piece of paper capable of turning men into beasts. Humanity is devouring itself because God created it as such. It begs the question ""If our deepest fantasies were to be revealed, would shame deprive us from our sleep?"
The passion of his art tells us the story of a self-taught, self-educated artist, forged like the greatest artists in history, with a continuous and profound contemplation of reality turning his feelings into works of art, painting restlessly until dawn.
Meza es un artista visual que huye de los espacios oficiales y que apuesta por exhibir su obra en el submundo de la sociedad. Sus personajes son habitantes de cantinas y conventos construyendo cronicas visuales a nuestro alrededor.
