Guevara’s motivation is piecing together the experience of war his parents endured through the 1980s in El Salvador and their struggles of migrating and adapting to Los Angeles. To these experiences, he includes his own narratives of his upbringing which come from reminiscing some instances that have been dreadful but also some that share joy. He reconstructs the narratives to document and grasp an understanding of the agony that has shaped his parent’s being and what part of those memories have come into making his identity.

Elmer Guevara (b.1990) was born and raised in Los Angeles and is currently working bicoastally in New York City. In the 1980s, his parents fled a war-torn El Salvador finding refuge in the City of Angels. Along with South Central’s vibrant energy and the culture his parents brought with them, he became inspired to reflect on his upbringing and the hybridity of cultures. In 2017, he received a BFA in Drawing and Painting from Cal State University Long Beach and in 2022 an MFA at Hunter College in New York City. He has exhibited in multiple galleries and is represented by Charlie James Gallery in LA.
