The short story

Drawing inspiration from his own graffiti career and his deep Brooklyn roots, his paintings often depict the area he grew up in as the wave of gentrification covers the finer details of the neighborhood he remembers and loves. Suerte is the founder of Urban Folk Art© Studios (an artist collective and gallery) and co founder and co owner of Brooklyn Tattoo®. He continues to paint, illustrate, printmaker, make comics, and make art on many levels in many mediums.
