MURALISM | PUBLIC ART
Diego Melgoza Ocegueara,
I create large-scale murals and public art installations that explore memory, identity, and community through visual specificity. My work is rooted in my Mexican heritage and Mesoamerican theory. Each project reflects on contemporary humanity and explores social and environmental relationships. My artwork is an opportunity to spark conversation while beautifying the spaces where people live, gather, and interact.
