Hugo was born in Los Angeles, California. He began his path as an artist when his kindergarten teacher read A Very Hungry Caterpillar to the whole class. That is when he decided to be an artist. California is where he raised his first Pit Bull dog and where he discovered Graffiti Writing and Hip Hop. He now resides in South Omaha, Nebraska. Nebraska is where he further grew as an artist, received his BFA from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, met friends that became family, began boxing, raised his current Pit Bull, and met his fiancée.
Hugo has worked on many murals in Omaha, most notably as lead artist for the Mexican Community Mural and the Werner Park mural commission.
