Art Herrera is a San Antonio, Texas based photographer, filmmaker, and acrylic painter with a reputation for breaking rules and turning moments into high impact visuals. He is recognized by his peers as a visionary. Whether he’s shooting celebrity portraits, raw fashion street scenes, Art’s work carries emotion and a signature edge.
A festival standout, he’s racked up international recognition taking Best Video Editor at the Staten Island International Film Festival for Gothic Grayson St. Episode 1 (2023) and Impressive Cinematography at the 48-Hour Sacramento International Film Festival and California Film Foundation for The Last Reading (2024), a paranormal film he wrote, directed, shot, and edited.
Art works closely with a circle of hand-picked, Ethereal & Autotelic Muses, creators driven purely for the art itself. In These collaborations aren’t just photo sessions; they’re immersive, high-energy experiments where emotion, narrative, and style collide. By blending their individuality with his cinematic eye, Art captures images that feel alive, electric, and impossible to ignore.
Off-set, Art fuels his passion for culture and community as a volunteer creative for San Antonio Pulse Magazine, where he showcases talent and stories through bold imagery and design. As an abstract, emotion-driven painter, Art strikes the canvas with raw, untamed energy, turning feeling into form and proving that art can be both rebellion and revelation.
Beyond visual art, Art channels his intensity into producing darkwave and techno-inspired electronic music, crafting immersive soundscapes that echo the same emotion-driven, boundary-pushing art work. Art Herrera is redefining what it means to be a modern visual artist…….raw, driven, diverse.
