Roberto Gil de Montes

Roberto Gil de Montes is a Mexican-born, Los Angeles-based artist known for his richly layered figurative paintings that blend mythology, personal narrative, and queer identity. His work draws on pre-Columbian iconography, Catholic imagery, and art historical references to create dreamlike, allegorical compositions that explore themes of desire, memory, and cultural hybridity. Recognized as a significant figure in the Los Angeles art scene since the 1980s, his paintings have gained renewed critical attention in recent years.
