Juan Hinojosa is an artist who lives and works in New York City. He attended Parsons School of Design, obtaining a BFA Fine Arts, and has worked with and exhibited at numerous institutions across the United States of America since 2005. Juan has held solo exhibitions and been featured on group exhibitions internationally, in addition to participating in numerous artist residencies around the world. As the first-born child of two Peruvian immigrants in America, Juan Hinojosa became absolutely obsessed with all aspects of American culture. As a child, the desire to have more than the family could afford became a constant struggle. This led to his obsession with collecting everything he could get his hands on. Juan believes that he has a responsibility to reduce his waste and the waste in his community, and he accomplishes this by turning debris and case offs into art. Each object is extremely precious, as he does not duplicate them in any way. He mixes high-end products with low-end goods, mashing up two polar opposites that do not normally go together.
