About the Artist (2024)
Chris Granillo is a California-based fine artist and printmaker with murals, paintings on canvas, and relief prints displayed publicly and in galleries. His desert upbringing inspired him to build a body of work based on the use of bold palettes of brilliant colors, which give his pieces deep contrasts, movement, and depth.
As a Californian artist of Mexican decent, Chris draws great inspiration from Mexican folkloric traditions depicting hummingbirds, native plants, and cultural traditions as a means to link modern day imagery to the past.
