Mr Serrano is an artist/muralist based in the Pilsen community in Chicago. Born in Chicago to Mexican immigrants who came from Durango Mexico in 1979, his work has focused on using the creative potential of art to explore different aspects of citizenship, education, and politics. Constantly seeking to engage different members of the broader community about important questions and concerns through his art classes, music and art shows, he believes that every creative means possible should be used to find and make meaning in this complicated world. All his life he’s engaged in social art experiences as an artist, teacher and music event organizer. He studied Graphic Design at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign then became a High School art teacher at Farragut Career Academy. He got his Master of Arts in Teaching from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and pursued a PhD in Art Education from Northern Illinois University. Mid PhD program he left to establish The People’s Stage Karaoke and co-found Kombi Chicago which provides meaningful musical experiences to the Latino community of Chicago.
