About Bimmer T:
Bimmer Torres's exposure to the Chicano-themed murals and graffiti while growing up in North Denver had a big impact on him. He began practicing graffiti when he was 15 years old, eventually incorporating the letter-painting techniques he developed into his mural work. With over 18 years of experience collaborating with stakeholders and community members on various art projects, including murals, canvas installations, and sculptures, he has amassed a portfolio of over 200 works across Colorado and neighboring states. His work is a synthesis of bright colors from sarape patterns, as well as hyper-realistic portraits, plants, and cultural artifacts. The harmonious balance between each element creates a unique image that tells a story.
