  • ABOUT THE ARTIST

    ABOUT THE ARTIST

    Samuel Vázquez is a New York–born, Indianapolis-based artist whose work is rooted in early hip-hop and graffiti culture. Beginning as a graffiti “style writer” in New York City at age 13, his practice evolved from street art into fine art through formal training at the Herron School of Art and Design.

    Working across painting, photography, and layered décollage, Vázquez combines typography, urban imagery, and textured surfaces to explore movement, memory, and community. His work reflects a dialogue between the visual intensity of New York and the contemplative space of Indianapolis, where he continues to live and work.
