Overcoming Fear and Pursuing Passion: Artes's Journey from DACA Recipient to Celebrated Artist
In this episode, the host sits down with Artes, a DACA recipient, artist, and entrepreneur, to discuss his inspiring journey from immigrating to the U.S. at a young age to becoming a recognized artist in San Jose, California. Artes shares his early love for art, influenced by his family's move from Guadalajara to San Jose and an uncle's drawing that captured his imagination. He delves into the challenges and fears he faced growing up as an immigrant and how he overcame them to pursue his passion for art. Artes's story highlights his contributions to the local art scene, including murals for notable businesses like Tostadas and his involvement with the San Jose Earthquakes' Mexican Heritage Month. Despite initial setbacks, such as a missed opportunity to work on a project for Snoop Dogg, Artes's persistence led to the successful establishment of Spirit Brothers, a collective dedicated to showcasing Latino culture through art. Throughout the conversation, Artes emphasizes the power of self-belief, the importance of embracing one's roots, and the relentless pursuit of dreams, offering motivation and insights to aspiring artists and entrepreneurs.
