EVOCA1
Dominican Republic
Evoca1 is the artistic name of Dominican-born artist Elio Mercado. A self-taught figurative painter, muralist and designer, he creates images that connect personal experience with questions of empathy and social responsibility.
His upbringing in the Dominican Republic informs work that brings human stories into public space. Across murals and other media, careful observation and expressive imagery give his subjects an emotional presence within the surrounding urban environment.
