Contemporary Artist | Los Angeles

Hi, I’m Johnny Naranjo — a contemporary artist based in Los Angeles, blending formal training with a passion for experimentation. After a brief hiatus from the art world, I’m excited to return with fresh energy, new ideas, and a deeper connection to my creative voice.

While my background spans traditional techniques, I’m most inspired when working with mixed media — combining textures, materials, and unexpected elements to bring my concepts to life. My work often explores the inner landscape of human emotion, aiming to capture those fleeting, honest moments we all experience but rarely express out loud.

At its core, my art is about connection — inviting viewers to pause, reflect, and engage in the shared complexities of being human. Whether it sparks a personal memory or a conversation, I hope each piece offers something meaningful.

Thanks for visiting — I’m glad you’re here.

The Process

Always Evolving

A key part of my artistic process is the ongoing drive to push the boundaries of creativity and self-expression. I’m especially interested in exploring themes of identity and belonging — subjects that feel both deeply personal and universally relevant.

I enjoy working with unconventional materials and mixed media, allowing each piece to take shape in unexpected ways. This experimentation keeps my practice dynamic and continually evolving.

At the core of it all, my goal is to create work that resonates — visually, emotionally, and thoughtfully.

This upcoming project brings together soft, layered materials and nature-inspired shapes to create pieces that feel both grounded and otherworldly. It’s a quiet nod to growth, transformation, and the beauty found in the details we often overlook. Stay tuned — this one’s unfolding petal by petal.
