Mural by Ernesto Paul.
Ernesto Paul started working as a muralist in his hometown of
San Ysidro, California--right on the border, and used to traveled to Chicano
Park in San Diego. He has been a positive influence for many young people,
showing there is a better way than gangs, drugs and violence. Since he began,
he has gone to Germany twice to paint canvases, sizes 15 x 12, on two different
theatre houses. The first mural was for the 500 years since Christopher Columbus
got lost and was saved by the Americans. Ernesto has painted a dozen murals
in the Mission District and downtown San Francisco and also plays his own
original Chicano Country Rock along with his son, Eric. Together the
"Cruzin' Coyote," paint signs commercially and are committed to preserving the
cultural identity of the Chicano/Latino/Native community through the use of
colorful indigenous images representative of ancestral roots. Ernesto Paul's
murals and workshops consist of sharing with students/youth and the public,
awareness and respect for Indigenous people, traditions and cultures.
