Each finished painting is the sum of a series of steps that begin with drawing and preparatory sketches.
His paintings depict places common to North American urban and suburban landscapes such as big chain and warehouse stores, gas stations, shopping malls, and chain restaurants. Trujillo’s paintings are fundamentally synthetic in nature, and represent not only the experience of direct observation, but also an appreciation and awareness of paintings and painters of the past Before beginning the final oil painting, Trujillo completes a grisaille, a monochromatic underpainting that allows him to establish the initial composition of each work.
Trujillo was born in Albuquerque, New Mexico and currently resides in Los Angeles where teaches at Santa Monica College.
