In my artistic practice, I employ a multidisciplinary approach to address urban decay, social practice, and abstraction that utilizes color as a language to convey color as an experienced perception. My work in monotype serves as intramural portraits, in which each layer is a manifested mediation that embodies the intensity borne from my emotional state. I firmly believe in the unique process of monotype, which acts as a historian to each moment pressed onto a surface and can effectively translate the action of emotion into a tangible asset. Additionally, the role of ambiguity in my work is to blur the boundary between the dream state and reality.
Genesis Torres (GNTRS), upbringing in New York, between the intersections of urban decay and social engagement shaped his conception of the living environment as a conceptual canvas of space. Based in the Pacific Coast, GNTRS, is an abstract artist accompanied by Giraffe, contemporary art curator, and creative economy advocate to support community vitality. Currently, he is the owner of GNTRS VAULT, located inside the Board of Trade Building in Portland,Or. He has served the Board of Directors of the California Society of Printmakers since 2024. He dedicates time to his role as an art educator, and in his spare moments, he utilizes his skills to serve as a facilitator, panelist, and creative explorer. He received his B.F.A in Studio Art, and while attending California State University, Sacramento, among many other accomplishments, he was an Instructional Student Assistant and Project Developer for the Sacramento State Public Art Map.
