Itzci

I’m a Black/Mexican American artist living in SF. Most of my

family comes from or lives in Jamaica, Mexico and America.

My mom is a first generation Mexican American born and

raised in San Jose. My dad grew up in a rural area close to

Kingston in Jamaica, and he later moved to America. I make a

lot of drawing and visual arts. Honestly, I do not know how I

would classify the concepts shown in my artwork. I feel like

I explore themes of what it means to be human, but I also

just enjoy creating things that are pretty to me, as art does

not always need to hold deep meaning for me. I create to

connect to myself. I think that making art feels like a very

human thing and that everyone does it in some way.

It is hard to pinpoint one specific thing that makes making

art enjoyable. I create to create.
