Justin Favela

As a a multidisciplinary artist, I am interested in exploring the notions of authenticity, place and identity using familiar materials to make large-scale installations, sculptures and paintings. My interest in art history, Latinx culture, community, celebration, home and my obsession with pop-culture inform my practice with the intention of dismantling institutional hierarchies.
