After graduating from a high school art magnet program, HUMXN apprenticed under renowned builder and muralist BlackBrain, gaining hands-on experience in the art world. Although he pursued higher education at the New World School of the Arts in Miami, he left to focus on real-world applications of his craft following the passing of his grandfather.
HUMXN's work reflects his unique perspective as a child of immigrants, blending traditional knowledge, avant-garde influences, and personal experiences. His passion for exploring the intersections of humanity, art, and the environment positions him as a powerful and fresh voice in contemporary art.
