Learn More

Lalo Perez is an interdisciplinary artist based in Portland, Oregon. Their practice investigates the intersections of identity and social environments, creating attention to the fragility of familiar cultural connections. Grounded in the processes of construction and deconstruction, their work engages the layered dynamics through their Mexican American and queer experiences. Through rituals, Lalo creates a dialogue between material, language, and imagery, developing a visual archive that reflects the inherited forms of resilience and faith that lead their practice.

Lalo has participated in artist residencies at Casa Lü in Mexico City, MX, Jupiterfab in Guadalajara, MX and Caldera a.i.r in Sisters, OR. They are currently pursuing a BFA in Intermedia at the Pacific Northwest College of Art.
