Aaron Stromberg:
Aaron Stromberg is an artist, designer and competitive climbing coach from Albuquerque, who has a deep love for this community and the outdoors. From a young age, Aaron traveled the Southwest with his father, gaining a deep appreciation for the beauty they inhabited. His adventures continued as he traveled across the Americas, influenced by Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco. Inspiring artists who courageously criticized governments while producing exceptional works of art. While the size and importance of these great painters had a profound impact on Aaron, it was the satirical lithographs of José Guadalupe Posada that truly captured his attention. The animated skeletons, or “calaveras,” allowed Posada to critique political and social issues in a darkly humorous way. The influence of these artists and the calaveras is visible throughout Aaron’s work.
Aaron studied fine arts at the University of New Mexico while teaching himself computer design. In 2010, he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with double honors for his solo art exhibition “Interfaith”, an exhibition which explored how religions from around the world, including growing up Catholic, have shaped the Aaron’s identity today.
