Carlos Donjuan

posArtist bio

A graffiti artist for the past decade, Donjuan has been creating art since he was old enough to wield a pencil. His art is powerful, yet playful, and often depicts sub-cultures that the artist is interested in or involved with. His graffiti reflects his interest in street fashion, underground music, and the diverse and always changing culture he hails from, while his portraiture is more classic, mixing old and current ideas to create a statement about his surroundings that is fresh and new. Donjuan's main goal is to showcase both the influences from his origins and his training in academia.

Carlos Donjuan, who is currently completing a Masters in Fine Art from University of Texas San Antonio, credits the tough neighborhood he grew up in, for his inclination to depict street life in his work.
