14 minute stream


Born 1979. Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Abel Macias is a painter, illustrator, builder, object maker, art director, and visual problem solver. With a knack for repurposing commonly used material and objects, he creates curious, playful interiors, illustrations and art objects. Macias’ work is rooted in Mexican folk art and influenced by nature and everyday objects, combined into an uplifting clash of color and pattern.

After 15 years of living and working in New York City, Abel Macias' studio is now based in sunny Los Angeles.
