EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) \u2014 One El Paso artist found his voice by creating from the heart.<\/p>\n
Gabriel Marquez runs a studio in El Paso that highlights his signature line art alongside works from other local artists. His art all started with his distinctive linear prints. <\/p>\n
Marquez says his style truly came to life when he stopped trying to imitate others. <\/p>\n
\u201cYour voice comes out when you don\u2019t have any references,\u201d he told ABC-7 during an interview.<\/p>\n
Marquez’a art primarily blends fluid drawing with desert symbolism. The studio produces murals, paintings, graphic designs, and even 3D prints that echo motion and the desert\u2019s character through intricate linear forms.<\/p>\n
Beyond a gallery, Mystic Desert Studio also operates as a culture shop, showcasing Marquez\u2019s work while providing a platform for local artists. <\/p>\n
The venue participates in community projects and pop-up markets, strengthening El Paso\u2019s mural and street-art scene.<\/p>\n
When asked what advice he would give artists finding their own style, Marquez said not to think, just draw. <\/p>\n
“If you can draw from memory, then it’s going to be more unique because nobody sees the world like you do,” said Marquez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EL PASO, Texas (KVIA) \u2014 One El Paso artist found his voice by creating from the heart.
