A Day In the Life Of...(Naranja)
Estevan Nuñez
Acrylic on canvas
8"h x 10"w
2025
I found paint that was thrown out and I wanted to push the limits of the medium. The image I used was one I had taken while riding the bus from campus. I thought there was something comical yet relatable in the three figures, almost repeating the same gesture while looking down at their phones. I feel the orange color had a way of softening the scene - making the bus look less industrial and more romanticized.
Get to Know the Austin Artist:
Originally from El Paso, Estevan is now based in Austin as a Junior Art Studio undergraduate at UT. Though still early in his career, he is eager to become more connected with Austin and its artistic community as he grows as a local artist. In his own practice, he creates monochromatic, realistic portraits of candid subjects in everyday life. Recently, he has begun experimenting with color as a way to exploring mundane scenes and turning them into something more vibrant.
