GREGORY LOMAYESVA

Born to a Hispanic Santera and a Hopi artist, Gregory Lomayesva, still a young artist has achieved great recognition for his wood sculptures and paintings. His masks and sculptures draw on his background, but he clearly uses poetic license to add his own abstract designs. These are not kachinas, but they are inspired by Hopi designs. The shapes are Hopi, but everything else comes from his imagination.

The son of acclaimed artists, Gregory Lomayesva grew up in Santa Fe, New Mexico. 

Combining the aspects of both Western and Hopi culture, art collectors often see Gregory's work as a breath of fresh air.

"I love Lichtenstein, Rauschenberg, Warhol and Pollock. In my paintings, I want to convey pop art, and I love fashion."
