'Facade', 2023 Oscar Loeza of Jair Loeza Acrylic on Canvas 18" x 24" The subject of this painting is an octopus. He is both independent and a survivor. He’s willing to do whatever it takes to outlast the odds against him. Nothing is taken at face value in his eyes. His genius causes him to question everything he sees. Oscar Jaíro Loeza was born in Michoacán, Mexico on September 17, 1989. At just 3 months old, he crossed the Mexico-United States border with his parents and two sisters. Oscar spent most of his childhood living in Orange County, where he was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy at 3 years old after having experienced knee pain and limping. His mother began using drawings and doodles to distract him from his disability, propelling his art journey. Because Muscular Dystrophy affects every muscle in the body, weakening it, the disease also began to compromise Oscar’s respiratory system. While Oscar paints, he keeps others in mind who do not have the ability or resources to create art. Keeping his own mental and physical struggles in mind, Oscar creates images generated by his thoughts. His work is a form of expressionism with a hint of realism. He paints from the soul and dwells in what he feels until the piece is finished.
