Painting & Exploring

ABOUT ME

Born in the California Desert,from a very early age found artistic and creative inspiration through his science classes and a back yard shared with the wild animals of the desert. Although desert inspiration was not hard to find, art supplies were limited and expensive to come by. The alternative was to create using found objects and affordable supplies unearthed at local thrift stores. Many of my early works appear on recycled surfaces and discarded objects.
I found it interesting sharing the earth with animals that once controlled the surface of the land but have now been driven underground by commercial development. This conflict fascinates him and frequently is depicted in his work. Granillo subjects of preference are Mexican folk art, the human figure, nature, mystery, and underwater organisms. His paintings are influenced by religious renaissance painting and a mixture of street art.
In 2003 Granillo relocated to the thriving San Francisco Bay Area art community. Still mostly working on recycled mediums, Granillo dabbled into the wider pallet of artistic mediums such as printmaking, sculpture, photography, graphic design, and murals. Chris Granillo’s work can be found displayed in numerous galleries throughout the U.S.
