Armond Antonio brings farm life and community to his artistic practice Pueblo Pintado, New Mexico-based artist, farmer and equestrian Armond Antonio (Diné) had just recently moved to Denver when the pandemic started raging, and he soon found himself back in New Mexico. Colorado s loss. At only 22, Antonio has already developed a thriving practice in graphite, ink, oils, watercolor and acrylic. He s self-taught or, as he puts it, he just picked up tips and tricks from artists I ve met. But don t let the lack of formal training fool you Antonio s works are refined and moving, sometimes evoking an almost visceral emotional response. Not too shabby for a farmer and rancher by trade. Antonio owns a couple head of cattle and grows heirloom Navajo corn out at Pueblo Pintado. When he s able, he draws and paints anything from close-up portraiture to landscapes and city streets.
