Zac Aquino/ Spread The Culture

Visual Art – Seattle

Zac Aquino is a self-taught artist from Washington state. His art is inspired by ancient Filipino and Polynesian tattoos. He adds his own modern geometric twist. Most of his art is created with a pencil, pen, ruler, and Illustrator. His goal is to reconnect people to their cultural roots through art. He believes that if people can reconnect to the culture that may have been ripped from them through hundreds of years of colonization, they can each find a lost identity within themselves. His hope is for viewers to see the beauty and the history in his culture and art, giving each the fuel to explore their own cultural roots and heritage.
