Rayos Magos

As an Latinx artist Rayos Magos is constantly inspired by culture, people, identity, and the roles we play in society. He creates fluidly between mediums such as collage, printmaking, painting, and sculpture. His background is in Counseling Psychology with a specialization in Expressive Arts Therapy, and his body of work focuses on symbolism, healing, spirituality, psychology, and social justice. Rayos Magos’s past and present work has been influenced by his own investigation into his ethnic and cultural identity as a Chicano (Mexican-American/Latinx) person living in the U.S. He makes work for the community with the intent to bring hope, joy, love, compassion, and community-building through imagery.

Each day his arts practice continues to evolve while staying rooted in community and building long lasting partnerships. He is a passionate advocate for the healing power of the arts and will continue creating, sharing and advocating for community members to experience art in various ways.
