Years later, they still capture his attention as Reyes builds faces out of swaths of color or let’s paint splatter across the thick black strokes outlining a pop culture icon. For Reyes, painting is freedom. For a long time he hadn’t felt that. After high school he worked blue collar jobs because as a noncitizen, art school didn’t seem possible. Then, as a father and husband in his mid-30’s, he decided to give it a shot. Since then his commissions have sold well locally and nationally as Reyes continues to build out his studio and develop his style.
