Ernesto Yerena Montejano was born in El Centro, CA, a town bordering Mexicali, BC, MX. Yerena's art practice reflects his observations of the cultures of the Mexican communities living on both sides of the U.S.-Mexico border. The artist shares narratives of conflicts in his identity. His work depicts his frustrations with oppression in his community and speaks to the need for community solidarity in defense of dignity and rights. Through his work, the artist depicts cultural icons, rebels and everyday people voicing their stance. In 2008, Yerena created the Hecho Con Ganas publishing project with politically and socially conscious images that are produced in limited edition silkscreen prints. Yerena is the founder and curator of the Alto Arizona Art campaign (2010) and a founding member of the We Are Human campaign (2009). Yerena has collaborated with artists Zack de la Rocha, Shepard Fairey, Manu Chao, Ana Tijoux, Philip Lumbang, Jaque Fragua, Diane Ovalle, Chuck D, and Mochilla.
According to Yerena, as depicted in the featured work, anxiety is "living in the future" and depression is "living in the past". The healthiest way to live is in the present.
