Biography

Gabriel Trevino is an artist born on July 12, 1976 in Brownsville, Texas. As a child Gabriel was described as a day dreamer who doodled in class. Gabriel's interest in art was not until the last year of high school (1994) where he exhibited his first formal drawings in an art class competition. After high school Gabriel continued to produce drawings and sought formal training in 1997 at the University of Texas at Brownsville art program. In the summer of 1998, after a productive year Gabriel was allowed a one man show at the Richardson Art Gallery. Surprisingly after a successful show for the young artist, in the fall of 1998 Gabriel began to work for Breed Automotive, putting on hold the idea of producing art.
In 2002 after the birth of his son Michelangelo, a new inspiration appeared and began to fuel the idea of producing art again. In 2005 Gabriel restarted his art career through a series of exhibits at the local flea market that explored the idea of art in a primitive art culture. Gabriel received his first break and recognized as a notable artist in a University of Texas at Brownsville art exhibit curated by artist and professor Carlos G. Gomez title Four Emerging Artist: Gabriel Trevino, Mauricio Saenz, Luis Valderas, Jesus de la Rosa.
Gabriel is now an active artist and arts advocate author of The Art of Brownsville Blog.
