About
Ric “Rocko” Miranda, immigrated to the US with his family in the late 70’s, like many families who come to the US, motivated by opportunities for economic stability and prosperity. As a child he spent countless hours with his mom working at a hair salon or his dad working at an auto body shop. He watched both of his parents mix colors and create beautiful designs that influenced Ric to see different ways to be creative. While he sat there with them he sketched and scribbled in his notebook and realized he had a talent. For a little while, he used that talent to be the artist for the local gang in his community, but then that experience led him to graffiti art. At the age of 12 he was introduced to graffiti art by a mentor and he was mesmerized by the shapes, colors, the distortion of letters and the connection to urban life. This has all shaped the kind of artist he is today.
He finds that art is a vehicle to unite people. His art is a reflection of his observations of the world, identity, culture and ethnicity. He finds that engaging youth in the arts allows them to discover their own creativity and form of positive expression.
