Gregory Lomayesva is an internationally recognized painter, sculptor, and mixed-media artist who lives and works in Santa Fe. Drawing from a rich palette of personal experience that includes his Hopi and Hispanic heritage, a wry look at American popular culture, and a keenly evolving aesthetic sensibility that combines abstract imagery with razor-sharp observations, Lomayesva’s work is at the cutting edge of American contemporary fine art. Lomayesva explains the varied sources of his artistic inspiration: “Hopiland is where my father’s side of the family comes from . . . and I begin most of my pieces with imagery from Hopiland. But I am not a ‘Native American artist’ per se—I’m an American artist with Hopi roots.”
