Armando paints like he surfs — with flow, instinct, and a deep love for the ride. His art is a visual rush of ocean spray and sunlight, capturing the pulse of surf culture through bold color, movement, and rhythm. Every line has motion, every piece hums with the stoke of coastal life. Based in Surf City, El Salvador, Armando’s world is built around waves, music, and creativity. He grew up sketching boards and beach breaks, and what started as pure passion has evolved into nearly a decade of professional artistry. His canvases channel the energy of the ocean and the spirit of the 70s–80s surf scene — that golden era of salt-crusted freedom, wild graphics, and endless summer vibes. Working mostly in acrylics (fast, vibrant, and as unpredictable as the tide), he loves mixing in spray paint, markers, and whatever tool gets the job done. His style — abstract, colorful, and a little bit cheeky — reflects both his laid-back attitude and his obsession with movement. You can almost feel the spray on your face when you look at his work. Armando doesn’t just paint what he sees; he paints what he feels — the freedom of the lineup, the calm before the drop, the flow that only comes when you’re one with the wave. His art is a celebration of surf life: color, connection, and the good kind of chaos. At Sol Gallery, we’re fired up to welcome Armando to the crew — a true wave-chaser bringing pure surf energy, good vibes, and bold color that hits like a perfect right-hand break.
