Biographical Information
"Murals have healing powers," believes Ernesto de la Loza, and concern for the environment is a theme that often shows up in his work. He has been painting walls since 1974 when he worked as mural artist and project director at Estrada Courts housing project in East Los Angeles. Trips to Europe and Mexico as well as classes locally in art, architecture, ethnic studies, and social science have all influenced his continuously evolving painting style. He is also an accomplished teacher, billboard artist, and handball player.
