Eduardo Cruz, a self thought artist, developed a unique and intricate style at a very young age, where most of his early works were just black ink and after several years he started exploring other mediums. Some of his works today include: coated steel sheet metal etching, metal and rock engravings, acrylic paint, and pyrography on various  types of wood. 

Eduardo’s work has been shown in the Portland area in both solo and group shows and he was a featuring artist in the 2018 Portland Oregon Glean program member of the Portland Latino Artist Exchange. He was also a collaborator in the 2018, and the Art and Altars Curator in the 2019  Dia De Los Muertos celebration in the Portland Art Museum.

He loves drumming and exploring other ancestral inspired instruments and sounds including flutes, whistles, and ocarinas among many other instruments. He continues to explore and experiment with even more mediums and salvaged materials to continue to learn, grow, expand and share his creativity as an artist and performer within their community and the world.
