Mark Puente - Nailivic Studios

My art reflects my multicultural heritage, blending history with innovation. Inspired by Lotería, Día de los Muertos, and global traditions, I create modern folk art using hand-drawn illustrations that transform into vibrant, layered wall art with a laser cutter. Each piece begins with a story to be told, evolves into detailed drawings, and is crafted using Baltic Birch wood and non-toxic milk paint. My work is designed to inspire connection, honor cultural roots, and spark meaningful dialogue.
