About the artists:
Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Einar (1960) and Jamex (1963) de la Torre moved to California with their Danish-Mexican mother in 1972, where they began experimenting with glass and later expanded to mixed-media works. Rejecting minimalist trends, they embraced a maximalist aesthetic, drawing on diverse cultural influences, including Hindu spirituality, Flemish Surrealism, and German Expressionism.
