Carlos Jesus Martinez Dominguez / FEEGZ

My work conveys my anxiety and thrill regarding history, how that history manifests in the present and presents implications for the future. I explore this through my love for critical thinking, culture, religion, language and debate. I mainly use spray paint markers, printmaking, and found objects to visually lay out my thought process on various types of surfaces. It results as a visual collage of arguments or messages that typically have an adverse stance on history and its conventional ideas.
