LOVINGTON, N.M. (AP) Edgar Palomino is on a mission to beautify Lovington, one wall at a time.
At 33, Palomino has been passionate about art for most of his life. His first inspiration came from cartoons and animations, but he soon turned to the work of Mexican muralists such as Diego Rivera, David Siqueiros and others whose work helped establish the muralist movement of public art starting in the 1920s in Mexico and around the world.
“I’ve been doing this as long as I can remember,” Palomino told the Hobbs News-Sun. “I was obsessed with painting and painting and painting. It’s just a love for art and painting.”
