In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
-Ernst Fischer-
The artist's open heart and passion for his craft is bewildering; the artist can readily access thoughts and sentiments of inspiration not accessible to the everyday individual. Vulnerability and courage are two of the many attributes that allow an artist to be in tune with their surroundings. Self-confidence makes the artist fearless, allowing them to nurture ideas that seem unattainable. Work ethic and persistence give the artist the ability to break through mediocrity, perfect a craft and push past the pressure to, when applied correctly, create diamonds.
The gift of talent combined with this ever-present hunger to make an impact in society is what will forever lead artists to strive to be iconic before relinquishing all efforts.
Established in 2005, Last Few Artists, Inc was nothing more than an idea by two Los Angeles natives who merely wanted to create and have a way to share it with the public. Brian Quezada and myself still hold true to this. Outside of recognition for works completed, we aspire to CONTRIBUTE, we wish to create and hope to inspire the minds of the generations to come. In the present, we do not seek praise but would rather receive change. The gift of making a difference is by far more rewarding than any applause. To break barriers, molds and traditions is what we stand for. To be part of a universal truth and promote peace is what we desire. Hard work with a definite purpose is how we will get there.
Last Few Artists is currently a small collective of individuals who cannot resist actualizing the reflections in their minds. Regardless of medium or platform, we will always be able to take ideas and make them tangible. We're on a mission to service the world with the mastery of our talents, our willingness to do more than called for and harvest the food for the soul.
Ultimately, we have our work cut out for us. After all trends, styles and fads have passed we will stand the test of time. We're on a journey and the objective, regardless of casualties, is to be the LAST FEW ARTISTS.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance. -- Aristotle
