About

Known for his contemporary style, mixed media artist Pako Pablos is recognized internationally for his stylistic approach by industry and social icons. From world class athletes to cutting edge musicians and entertainment figures, his artistic commentary on pop culture through the use of digital art, painting with acrylics and the creation of images in pastels is gaining widespread exposure and popularity.
Originally from Guadalajara, Mexico, Pablos showed an early interest in artisanship, winning awards in state youth art shows for his drawings and paintings. Growing up, his career initially focused on his talents in basketball, playing in tournaments until after college, eventually becoming a center and power forward for his country on the National team. Following his athletic career, he moved on to do print and runway modeling before eventually choosing to pursue his true passion for the arts. He now lives and works in La Jolla, CA, drawing and painting in his studio overlooking La Jolla Cove just outside of San Diego.
His work has been featured internationally in art shows and exhibitions; on television and in print media; and through growing prominence in his social media following. Beyond the art itself, his passion is promoting art education and supporting artistic endeavors for young people around the world. He has donated pieces of his works to support children’s charities and organizations supporting art education and continues his outreach efforts throughout the United States, Mexico and Europe.
