My name is Junior Gomez, and I’m originally from New York City. I create murals and paintings, but I’m always exploring new mediums and pushing the boundaries of art. My work is deeply inspired by my journey of self-exploration and the experiences that have shaped me. Coming from humble beginnings, I’ve learned to approach life with strength, determination, and a relentless drive to pursue my passion.

​

Growing up in NYC, I was immersed in the vibrant art scene, especially graffiti, which became a powerful form of expression that sparked my own creative journey. This passion led me to pursue a Visual Arts degree at Wells College, graduating in 2011. However, finding a job in the creative field was difficult, and I ended up in a corporate job, which offered stability but didn’t fulfill my artistic hunger. The urge to create never left me, and in 2018, I moved to Charlotte, NC for a fresh start, hoping to reconnect with my creativity.

​

In 2021, I finally gained the confidence to pursue art full-time. Since then, I’ve created murals across the country, exhibited my work on billboards in California and North Carolina, and one of my proudest achievements has been having my work displayed at the Harvey B. Gantt Center in Charlotte.

​

My mission as an artist is to inspire others to follow their dreams, no matter the obstacles. Gratitude, awareness, and perspective are the values that guide my journey, and I strive to create work that encourages others to explore their own creative potential. Through my art, I hope to spark conversation, evoke emotion, and inspire a sense of possibility.
