Mario Ayala’s (b. 1991, Los Angeles, CA) practice references histories in wall painting, body modification, commercial painting, and auto customization.

Ayala pays particular attention to familiar materiality and techniques that reflect his own identities. His work exists as an archival playlist, mirroring, mourning, and celebrating the absurd complexities of human behavior. Ayala’s work whether sculptural, site specific, or creative collaboration attempts to challenge the perceptual lens and reposition the local and the global as interwoven phenomena in a world defined by multiplicity.
