Einar de la Torre

born Guadalajara, Mexico 1963
BiographyCollaborating brothers, Einar and Jamex De La Torre, were born in Guadalajara, México and grew up in California. They both attended California State University at Long Beach where Jamex completed a BFA in Sculpture. Currently the brothers live and work on both sides of the border, The Guadalupe Valley in Baja California, México, and San Diego, California. The complexities of the immigrant experience and contradicting bicultural identities, as well as their current life and practice on both sides of border, inform their narrative and aesthetics.

The Brothers have been collaborating in earnest since the 1990’s. Over the years they have developed their signature style featuring mixed media work with blown glass sculpture and installation art. Their pieces represent a multifaceted view of life that reflects a complex and humorous aesthetic that could be seen as multi-layered baroque. They have also created photomural installations and used Lenticular printing as a major part of their repertoire. They have won the USA Artists Fellowship award, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, the Joan Mitchell Foundation Award, and the San Diego Art Prize,. They have had 18 solo museum exhibitions, completed 8 major public art projects and have participated in 4 biennales.
