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.
