Artist’s Spotlight

Mico Escorpeso

Fresh out of college, Mico Escorpeso is already developing a voice that feels distinct and deeply considered. His mixed media works, often reminiscent of stained glass, translate everyday subjects into striking patterns of color, shape, and shadow. Whether depicting cats, figures, or imagined terrains, Escorpeso approaches each composition with a balance of structure and sensitivity.

There’s an intuitive sense of design at play. His works draw viewers in with their contrast and symmetry, yet never lose their softness. Rather than flattening his figures into abstraction, he breaks them down into stylized forms that retain warmth, personality, and presence. The effect is quiet but resonant, with each piece offering a thoughtful meditation on parts and wholes.

Escorpeso’s evolving body of work suggests both discipline and curiosity. With each new piece, he continues to refine a practice rooted in observation, distilled through craft, and guided by his own perspective.
