“I knew I wanted to make every mark unique, hone in on the structure and do it through line...It was something I wanted to incorporate…to study the structure of war; it’s language and the language of drawing…break it down to the fundamentals. ”

“The work of Andrei Renteria, in both his artistic and curatorial practices, exposes the systems of violence, capitalism, and culture in which we live in. His sketched portraits of victims challenge us to question the society and the borders of division we exist in.”

“His work is an enduring protest in the shape of drawing’s powerful means…And he is doing so in a region where people still look away too often…”
