Artist. Director of Marketing. Lowrider.

Background

Ricardo Cortez is a Chicano digital media artist exploring the intersections of technology, sculpture and culture. Through these media, he reimagines his Chicanismo, suggesting a new approach to studying our active relationships with technology and longing for nostalgia. He continues to exhibit, teach and produce culturally significant work that encourages interaction – inviting the audience to become an integral part of the art.

Ricardo works as a Marketing Director at Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship of Santa Clara University and is actively cataloging a digital archive of rare Lowrider print material, and remains dedicated to his pursuit of service to the community. Ricardo Cortez was named one of six 2022 Creative Ambassadors by the City of San Jose. His creative expression project included a series of workshops for youth incorporating digital and traditional media to produce one-of-a-kind sound-reactive artworks around San José’s rich Lowrider culture.
