NEPO+ Community, Art & Technology 's  current project with EcoMedia Compass™, a 501C3 Non-profit is working towards bringing awareness to the environmental devastation within the Salton Sea community. The creative collective is in progress of fundraising for EcoMedia Compass' annual Earth Day event on April 23, 2022.

NEPO+ aims to be a safe, supportive, and empowering organization that works with local artists and small businesses to cultivate a more mutually beneficial community. "Through the development of pop-up events and educational workshops the goal of the participating artist is to use art and technology as a catalyst to engage with the community and bring awareness towards an opportunity to empower change".

Art Portfolio

Serrano's portfolio of art includes oil paintings, illustrations, sequential narration, digital art and animation. They believe representation in art is a key building block for better understanding and communication amongst community members.

Their early abstract paintings reference Deleuze and Guattari's rhizomatic  theory. They utilize this visual language to negotiate the experience of  intersectional spaces as a rejection of the organizational structure of the "root tree system" perpetuated by the american narrative that has historically left out the lived experiences of POC. Serrano's current oil paintings take structurally from Pre-Hispanic Mesoamerican (Mēxihcah, Aztec, Mayan, and Toltec) civilizations interwoven with the spiritual traditions of the ofrenda to unpack identity, communal generational trauma, and grief.

​

Serrano's Digital Art, Animation and Sequential Narration all tackle common constructed themes built by privileged systems. Similarly, their illustrative narratives, stylistically referential to tattoo culture; deconstruct the problematic images in both newspaper art and tabloid articles, by exploring how they re-enforced the foundation for the prejudice that is experienced by BIPOC daily.
