Jesús “Cimi“ Alvarado
Jesús “CIMI” Alvarado is a proud Chicano artist who is driven by contemporary and historic Chicanx figures. He began his artistic career as a graffiti artist in El Paso, Texas, and grew to love muralism for its unique ability to speak and create ongoing conversations in public settings. His work is entirely rooted in the community he is working in at a particular time. CIMI’s larger works incorporate discussions with the communities to learn how community members see their own history, while honoring the everyday leader. This piece represents universal experiences: “We all have people who cross boundaries and blaze paths to reach our goals, whatever they may be.”
