I sat down with Hatziel Flores, a self-taught artist whose work bridges graffiti, fantasy, and fine art.

Born in Mexico City and raised in Dallas, Hatziel shares how the Dallas graffiti scene shaped his creative path. We talk about finding beauty in chaos, painting in tunnels as a teen, and how his love for both oil painting and street art led to murals that now cover entire city blocks.

His story is one of discipline, rebellion, and artistic survival.

In this episode of ØBSESSD I sat down with Evita Tezeno, whose vibrant work captures everyday Black life through hand-painted papers, personal memories, and a quilt-like layering of stories.

From her childhood in Port Arthur, Texas to receiving the 2023 Guggenheim Fellowship, Evita shares how family, dreams, and heritage shape her practice — and how she’s built a career honoring the beauty of humanity.

Esta semana conversé con Rómulo Martínez, artista visual venezolano radicado en Dallas, Texas.

Su obra se caracteriza por el uso simbólico del color y figuras humanas, acompañadas de objetos cotidianos y elementos naturales, explorando temas humanistas, sociales e introspectivos.

Su trabajo ha sido expuesto en museos y galerías de Venezuela, Colombia, España, Singapur, Perú y Estados Unidos.
