You’re invited to the opening of a new exhibition by Oscar Toloza.

Oscar Toloza (b. 1992, Reseda, CA) is a Salvadoran-American painter based in Indianapolis. Raised in Logansport, IN, his early passions for video games, music, and self-taught artistry eventually led him to fully commit to visual art in 2019.

Working across acrylics, oils, graphite, spray paint, and tattooing, Toloza’s work explores themes of perseverance, animal instincts, and humanity’s bond with nature. His style blends surreal dreamscapes with vivid color palettes.

Inspired by Eastern art and pre-Hispanic traditions, he creates a visual bridge between past and present, offering a space for those who navigate multiple cultures. This year, he has fused his love for art and music through live-painting performances at festivals like WAKAAN and DERPFEST.

Following two successful solo shows in Lafayette and Indianapolis, Toloza is now concluding his apprenticeship with the Latino Artist Mentorship Program (LAMP), which will culminate in a group show at the Eiteljorg Museum in Indianapolis.

Don’t miss this opportunity to experience his compelling work.
