“Untitled,” Josue Mata

I do a little bit of everything and work with the stuff available to me in prison. I have done lots of work with graphite pencils, ink, acrylics and watercolors, pastels, charcoals, and a little with oils; I enjoy painting all kinds of animals, birds. I do a lot of portraits and many other styles in great demand within the walls. What inspires me? A few things. I like giving people something they like and puts a smile on their face. I love to take them to another place through art, see what I see and feel. I enjoy creating art and learning more.
