Successfully experimenting with the different light tones that bring more intensity and depth to his painting, Trujillo creates mesmerizing art that sparks the imagination of the viewer and invites them to create their own story. Trujillo’s bold graphic style and signature brushstroke, symbolism that reminds the artist of his home in Las Cruces, New Mexico, and represents finding light amongst hardship.
