Artist Paints On Everyday Self-documents Discarded After Having Fulfilled Their Purpose

[0

An envelope isn’t just paper. For an immigrant, it can be a lifeline, a threat, or proof of one’s own existence. Artist Fidencio Fifield-Perez understands this better than most. He takes the bureaucratic ephemera of his own journey from Oaxaca, Mexico, and his experience with DACA, and turns it into powerful, challenging art.

His work is a direct confrontation with the idea of borders. Using the very documents that define and divide, he builds new landscapes through painting, print, and collage. These are not just artworks; they are acts of reclamation. Fifield-Perez, now an Assistant Professor of Painting at UC-Davis, transforms the fragile evidence of a life lived “in-between” into a bold declaration of presence, resilience, and identity.
