ARSENIO BACA

A new wall in Denver! This mural is a collaboration piece I painted last week with my brother in paint @juls_arte_ in his neighborhood of Westwood. We had less than 2 days to complete this mural with an unexpected rainstorm/snowstorm cutting my time there short. Despite the challenges, we made it happen and I was honored to paint with Juls and contribute to his community. It was also so cool to paint here so my family in CO can now experience one of my murals in their city. This is a special piece for me. The location, the inspiration behind it, and the experience and memories painting and being there will stick with me for a lifetime.

It is not lost on me how awesome it is to leave a piece of me everywhere I go. As a muralist I get to express myself on a grand scale, and nothing makes me happier than sharing my culture and roots all over the world. This is my gift to the Netherlands. If you ever get a chance to go to Amsterdam you have to visit @straatmuseum 💯 They have an absolutely incredible collection of work from artists all over the world. It was so inspiring to see so many murals in one place!

Every time I hit the road I think it’s the places that will leave a mark. Time and time again, it’s always the people that make the biggest impact. I can’t express enough how blessed I feel to know genuine, awesome, crazy, wholesome people everywhere I go. You all make life worth living🗺️🚗

3.4.26 Monday Motivation. Out here in Denver painting with @juls_arte_ the inspiration behind my monday videos. Follow along as we make our way to Kansas City in September for @nuestratierrashow Juls is doing big things in Denver and is a big time motivator for me as an artist so its an honor to paint alongside him this week and add some art to his neighborhood, follow him and watch his journey.

Final hallway complete for Pine Hollow Middle School. Over the span of a little over a year I painted 3 wings of the school. All the lockers are now canvases showcasing the school mascot, mustangs. This project was unique, challenging, and fulfilling all at the same time. I think I can paint horses in my sleep now😂 Now I start an epic journey across the southwest U.S. with some cool projects to come along the way. Let the travels begin…

Meeting of Styles Finland is happening 5-7.6.2026 at graffiti playground Wasa Graffitilandia in Vaasa, Finland. Meet the artists: Arsenio (USA) “Arsenio has always let his art guide the way. Working as a professional artist the past 15 years has taken him all over the world painting in communities far and wide. Muralism has always been the heart and soul of his craft as it is truly the greatest form of art that is directly for the people. Murals are his passion and travel is his inspiration.” Artist @abacaart Logo @bigmora #mosfinland #meetingofstyles #togetherness #vaasavasa

One of the incredible artists @abacaart from Meeting of Styles Jamaica shares his message to the children of Tivoli Gardens alongside his brother @mo.jitsu 🎨🇯🇲 What began as a grassroots effort by the Tivoli Murals Project to reclaim their community from violence has grown into an international movement, where local Jamaican artists welcome creatives from around the world into the heart of West Kingston to use art as a tool to inspire hope, pride, and transformation.

Arsenio Baca, one of our amazing artist mentors at YAC, shares his new pieces with us at the studio! After displaying them at a collaborative art show called “Nuestra Tierra: Here and There” in Chicago, IL, we hung them up on our wall so our YACsters can see the beauty of large scale paintings. Thank you @abacaart for sharing your process, as well as the personal and cultural symbolism in your work! 💜 Youth Arts Collective 🎨 Do art. Be kind. #montereyartist #mexicanamericanart #muralista

Those of you who know, last year I challenged myself to draw or create something everyday. That practice led me into a new level of confidence with my drawing abilities. That being said I find myself still being a little too reliant at times on references to create. So this year I’m trying a new practice that I’ve always struggled with my confidence in pursuing. These are drawings solely from my memory. The mind’s eye is something that can be strengthened like any other muscle. I just found I needed to take the necessary steps in order to be a more confident illustrator. This first series of drawings are from this past weekend in SF. They represent moments, chance encounters, and places that stood out to me. So much so that I was able to recreate them with just my mind’s eye. On one hand it gives me a chance to capture a snapshot of how I see my world inside my head, on the other it shows me that with enough determination and will even that which felt unattainable before, now feels possible. A lesson for life, we are the ones that set our own limits on ourselves. No one else does. So don’t cage your mind. Set it free. Progress. Just gotta keep going…

Final commission for 2025. This was a fun piece done for my homie and his wife as a wedding/christmas gift from his brother. He has been wanting an original piece for his home for awhile, just couldn’t decide what he wanted. So me and his brother took matters into our own hands😂 This represents their home as his wife grew up in SoCal and loves LA and he grew up in the Bay. It is a combination of pyrography and acrylic paint on a custom built pine wood slab. NorCal to SoCal its all love repping the West Coast. On the west coast sign the numbers represent the birthdays of their two daughters. Thanks @isaac_715 for commissioning this piece and @sway_hernandez and @ilennee I hope you treasure this piece in your home for a lifetime.

Last mural of 2025 and this one was a goal achieved. Last March La Neta Murals put out a raffle to donate a mural to a local organization or business. The winner of our raffle was Gavilan View Middle School and we finally got to it! We hope to keep doing this kind of thing for our community. Looking forward to a 2026 full of color!

You wanna know what brings me joy, this right here. Creating with my friends. It’s that simple with me. Travel, create, make memories. Keep it simple. Happy Birthday @gi.zambrano 🎉🎉🎉
