Miguel Angel Reyes was born in Colima, Mexico in 1964, and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1975. Today, the Los Angeles-based artist is known as a portrait and figurative painter but is also a printmaker, muralist, and illustrator. In this untitled portrait, Reyes imbues his subject with a fierce spirit that is revelatory of his experience in the fashion industry.
