About

Eduardo Gardea (b.1990) is a suggestive and impressionistic artist. Born in Texas, Gardea was raised in Nebraska, which influences his works.  Utilizing a contemporary art foundation, Gardea’s strength as a self-taught artist has enabled him to communicate modern and historic stories of personal and societal struggle and victory.  Using a variety of mediums, Gardea summons a collective of ongoing ideas and feelings within the viewer.

Using a range of mediums, his intention lies in updating the narrative of those who have been denied involvement in mainstream economic, political, cultural, and social activities. The modern-day experiences of immigration, citizenship, success and struggles are more than the surface impressions of worn-out narratives. 


Intentionality in his art doesn’t lie in how realistic it appears, it rests quietly within the idea of the subject.  His work speaks to the value in making space and raising immigrant, indigenous, and blue-collar people from the confinement of the lower or peripheral edge of society.  As they are necessary and valuable contributions as we move forward.
