Meet the Artists

César Perales | Bio

César Perales is a painter and visual artist from Alicante, Spain. Known for his public and privately commissioned murals around Todos Santos, his curiosity with painting actually began with graffiti. César received his Licenciatura en Bellas Artes (Bachelor of Fine Arts) from the Facultad De Bellas Artes in Altea, Spain and also studied painting in Genoa, Italy.

Now a teacher himself, he instructs adults and children in fundamental techniques of drawing and painting in small group classes and private lessons. His approach helps his students uncover their natural style of expression and apply it to their own personal projects.

César is also the founder of Colectivo El Nido, a community arts and cultural space in Todos Santos. He has exhibited locally at Migrante Galería and Galeria Enrique Guerrero, as well as in Spain.

Amanda Aileen Fisher | Bio

Amanda Aileen Fisher is an interdisciplinary social practice artist and writer who is drawn to the power of language in creating and reconstructing “realities.” From paper-making to installation-based interventions, her work heavily explores perspective as a shape-shifter and how it can be used to access and recode the individual interior landscape, and thread by thread, the collective reality.

She is the founder of the Todos-Santos-based project Abre Tu Boca, where she has built a community of writers, supporting them to find and flex the power of their voice through the written and spoken word.

Previously, she served as co-director of Colectivo El Nido, a community arts and cultural space in Todos Santos. She also founded Crown Town Handmade, a collective of entrepreneurial artists, in her home city of Charlotte, North Carolina, and managed the Aristocrats, a residence of artists in Los Angeles, where she also lived for four years.

Her social practice and white box gallery projects have been shared and shown in Los Angeles, Mexico, Colombia, and the Dominican Republic.
