Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Christian Navarrete is a bilingual art teacher and a freelance artist with deep family roots in Mexico. Christian began his art journey at a very young age with some formal art training, yet learned most of his skills through practice and dedication. His art portfolio includes illustrations, paintings, caricatures, murals, body art, graphic art and more. His diverse work has been created by hand with paints, markers, spray paint, and airbrush. He has also created some computer generated work. Christian's style is always bold, colorful and adding food for thought. His artwork is inspired by his daily life encounters, combining colorful, diverse imagery with thought-provoking themes, often with a dash of satire. His art has been exhibited locally and nationally in art galleries and private collections and has graced the covers of our poetry anthologies: They Say Vol 5 & Ellos Dicen Vol 2.
