I am Omar Ricardo Melendez (Los Angeles, 1993). I am a Guatemalan American designer/artist based in Southern California.

The focus in my art is creating a balance in a piece or design that translates ideas and evokes emotion. The inspiration behind my artwork is from nature and the diverse cultures throughout the world. I enjoy the diversities and I praise similarities. My goal is to generate connection and bring a sense of unity with my art.

I am currently in Cal State University of Fullerton earning my BFA in design. I work as a photographer for Lifetouch, and I sale my art & design services on the side.
