Welcome to Oaxslug
"Printmaking is more than a technical craft, I have found it is a tool for raising awareness, instigating change, and has the potential to foster an equitable world"
My name is Ulises Uriel Peralta, I’m a Oaxacan Printmaker from Venice, California. My professional artistic carrer began at Santa Monica Community College, where I earned an Associate Degree in Studio Arts in 2022. I transferred then to UC Santa Cruz, where I earned my Studio Arts Bachelors Degree in 2024. In the mix of the visual mediums I practiced and learned, Printmaking is the medium that helps me translate my ideas from thought to matrix accurately to my vision and in a timely manner.
​
Through printmaking, my artwork explores the intersection of cultural memory, suppressed histories, and community resistance. My art is a response informed by my own experiences and education on the effects of colonialism, displacement, gentrification, and cultural erasure. I create work that relcaims narratives manipulated by dominant systems of repression
