Frank Blazquez (b. Chicago, IL) is a visual artist working in portraiture, documentary film, and mixed-media. Blazquez focuses on counter-narratives across the American Southwest and tropes connected to the US-Mexico border. The creator demonstrates his experiences connected to urgency and rehabilitation. The subjects of his portraits often stand at the thresholds of agency and vulnerability, in circumstances where grief, allegiance, and survival converge. 

In 2022, Blazquez’s artwork was exhibited in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery.
