Javier Quintero
Javier Quintero is a firm believer that art should be universally approachable and allow room for everyone to create meaningful connections with art. Working primarily through painting and sculpting using diverse materials, he crafts works that reflect the ebb and flow of life. Amongst his own experiences, his art serves as a platform to pause and to address issues such as homelessness, societal inequalities, and American consumerism. With a desire to prompt reflection and spark conversations, Quintero hopes his work engages viewers in meaningful dialogue about these and other societal concerns.
