ANDREW LyKO

Contemporary Fine Artist from Rialto, California

EARLY LIFE AND INSPIRATION

Lyko’s journey as an artist began in the vibrant streets of Los Angeles, California. As a Mexican-American youth, he turned to street art to navigate the challenges of his environment and avoid the violence that surrounded him. Lyko’s earliest inspirations came from cartoons, which opened a door of creativity that forever changed his perception of the world.

“To me, a cartoon character is as real as anything else in life”

ARTISTIC STYLE

Lyko’s artworks utilize acrylic, oil bar, ink, and airbrush, blending these mediums in a natural, intuitive way to tell his truth. Growing up in Southern California, Lyko was deeply influenced by urban street culture. His teenage years were spent breakdancing, spray-painting, and exploring the world around him. These experiences infuse the art with a raw, energetic narrative that resonates with many generations.

PHILOSOPHY AND VISION

“I tap into the collective consciousness of all ages to bring forth the youthful energy that many adults lose over time. I believe in keeping the heart young and alive, enabling a high-frequency lifestyle.”

Lyko’s life’s work is dedicated to leaving behind a timeless narrative that not only tells his journey but inspires others to come alive through his artistic lifestyle. His paintings are more than just visual pieces; they are experiences meant to evoke the emotion and energy he is living in within the tapestry of life.
