Cultural Currents Reception with Artist Mark Romero

Cultural Currents presents a collection of pencil illustrations and screen prints inspired by the intricate artistry and profound symbolism of Mesoamerican and Pre-Hispanic cultures. The pieces highlight the shared traditions, mythologies, and aesthetics that connected civilizations across Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica. By tracing these historical linkages, the artworks celebrate the cultural unity of Mesoamerica and how these traditions and influences endure.

Solo and group exhibitions include Mission Cultural Center (San Francisco), Dupont Underground gallery (Washington DC) and Casa de Español (Sacramento). He has given artist workshops at the UC Davis Craft Center, TANA (Woodland) and The Berkeley School and participated in a residency at Galería Casa Equis (CDMX).
