Born and raised in San Ysidro, CA, Esteban Cabeza de Baca experienced firsthand the unique and complex dynamics of living on the US-Mexico border. His time spent in west Denver during the 1990s to early 2000s further immersed him in the diverse and vibrant Chicano community. Cabeza de Baca's remarkable paintings and sculptures employ a diverse range of techniques to challenge limited perspectives of American history. Often set against the breathtaking backdrop of the American Southwest, his works capture pivotal moments where social, political, environmental, and familial narratives intertwine.
Esteemed venues such as the Garth Greenan Gallery in New York City, the Crystal Bridges Museum in Arkansas, and the Kunstfort in Vijfhuizen, Netherlands have showcased Cabeza de Baca's solo exhibitions. His exceptional talent has led to his work being featured in prestigious collections including Harvard University, MCA San Diego, and the Beth de Woody collection.
A graduate of the Denver School of the Arts, Esteban Cabeza de Baca obtained his BFA from The Cooper Union in 2010 and his MFA from Columbia University in 2014. He currently divides his time between the US borderlands and Queens, NY, and is represented by the renowned Garth Greenan Gallery.
