Sean ‘Swab’ Gonzales

My work is deeply influenced by movies, music, culture, and my Christian faith. I explore the intersection of pop culture and personal experience, using bold visuals to reflect on identity, hope, and the spiritual in the everyday. Through vibrant colors, layered imagery, and sometimes unexpected juxtapositions, I aim to spark thought and connection. My creative process often begins with a moment, a lyric, a scene, a feeling that sticks with me and won’t let go. I build from that spark, mixing references from film, street style, faith, and media into something new but still familiar. I use acrylics, mixed media, and found objects and images to create pieces that are both expressive and reflective. My vision is to make art that resonates emotionally and spiritually, offering both commentary and encouragement. I want my work to feel alive, like it’s speaking to you, not just adorning a wall. I believe art should challenge, comfort, and celebrate what it means to be human.
