C. Luis Ituarte Email & Phone Number

The objects I create; paintings, collages, sculptures, installations and writings, along with the activities I generate; the cultural celebrations, the art events, the exhibits, the teaching, are all part of my artistic expression. Art lives in Culture. History gives us the understanding of Culture. I like to study the times I live in, and with my art, review history as a process to create a better future. I hope to fulfill my purpose as an artist when my work interacts with people, bringing our cultural, social, and individual personas across. I was born and bred in Tijuana, Mexico. I grew up in a hybrid culture, very solid in my Mexican culture, and at the same time, very familiar with the culture of the United States. I also had a sense of distrust and acceptance of both cultures. My experiences in Mexico City (5 years), Central America (2 years) and Canada (14 years), made me review my thoughts about the concept of “border”, and along with my experiences in Los Angeles, California (15 years), makes me realize that a “border” is a state of mind that limits us, and that the future lies mostly in the acceptance of our differences.
