Chris Granillo

Chris Granillo Artist & Cultural Strategist in Government-Public Art Pinole Artisans Liaison Chris Granillo is a California based fine artist and printmaker with murals, paintings and relief prints that have been shown internationally. Inspired by the background of his desert upbringing, his work is a bold palette of brilliant colors and deep contrasts filled with movement and depth. Granillo’s body of work challenges assumed dualities. By juxtaposing the built and natural worlds, overlapping the past with the present, and inverting the role of shadows and light, Granillo’s pieces invoke viewer's reflection on their spirituality and connection to folkloric mythologies.
