Ernesto Yerena Montejano was born in El Centro, CA, a mid-sized farming town bordering Mexico. His art practice reflects his observations of the views and interactions between the Mexican communities living on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. Through his brazen imagery, the artist brings political concerns to light with subject matter that depicts cultural icons, rebels and everyday people voicing their stance against oppression.
