Biography:

Aaron De La Cruz is an artist from Fresno, California, who is best known for his minimal yet cryptic approach which bridges the realms of graffiti and illustration. His work, though minimal and direct at first, tends to overcome barriers of separation and freely steps in and out of the realms of fine art and design. He has exhibited in galleries and institutions worldwide, and has been recognized by numerous publications and media outlets for his work. De La Cruz has also been commissioned to create works for commercial clients such as Nike, Levi's, and Adidas. In 2014, he collaborated with Australian artist Rone on a mural for the POW! WOW! Taiwan festival in Taipei.
