Bio

“Hello, my name is Jacquavious. My name is pronounced Jah-qway-veus and I use He/Him pronouns. I was born and raised in Southern California in the heart of Los Angeles. I started creating art as a young, curious kid enthralled by everything around me. I used to draw, write stories and I wanted to do everything. My art is inspired by my lived experiences, by my upbringing and the diverse culture of Southern California. I draw inspiration from music, fiction, non-fiction, poetry. Themes and messages I explore have to do with identity, society, politics, capitalism, etc. I am particularly fond of surrealism, animates ordinary objects into my imaginings. My work depends on the particular color of mood I’m feeling at the time of creation.

I invite you to connect with me if you wish. I am open to conversations around the creative process, my personal process and my approach etc.”
