My name is Antonio Gallardo Moreno, born and raised in Kern County. I come from a family with a strong agricultural background and limited exposure to the arts. However, I am determined to chart a new course for future generations by embracing my creativity and pursuing a path as an artist. My family’s roots trace back to Guanajuato, Mexico, but I was born and raised on the outskirts of Bakersfield, California, in a predominantly Hispanic community where agriculture and Mexican Culture shape our daily lives. My true passions lie in the realm of creativity and exploration of the world and its stories.
