Esteban Raheem Abdul Raheem Samayoa (b. 1994 Sacramento Ca) is a self taught Mexican, Guatemalan Oakland based artist. His works invoke a sense of nostalgia that captures shared life between himself and his community through rich black and white charcoal drawings. The softness of his work is contradictory of a harsher world amongst black and brown communities in America. The eye focuses on the beauty in survival and the objects of cultural importance. Works of color, installation and ceramic pieces are also key for creating Samayoa’s vision.
