Hector Del Campo
Born in Tampa, Florida, I, Hector Del Campo received my MFA in 2004 at the University of South Florida in Tampa and BFA at the Herron School of Art & Design in Indiana. A first-generation Cuban-American, I have exhibited extensively and taught across the country. My work is found in numerous private and corporate collections in the United States. I have been faculty at Ivy Tech Community College in Indianapolis, Indiana for over eleven years.
In my early years of art making, I’ve used my memories and familia to reflect those ideas about mis abuelos y abuelas. My earlier works layered the stories, so a narrative was created to have a reflection. As I progressed in art making I continue to use my memories of growing up as an influence in my art as well as my current events in my life. This has allowed me to keep expressing who I am but also what inspires me every day. I feel like growth in art making is a reflection of personal progress and you can see that expressed in my work.
