Gerardo Camargo was born in 1974 in Mexico City. When he was twelve years old, he began working as a cartoonist for a local political newspaper. He apprenticed with several established artists in their studios and took some classes at the University of Morelos, but he is essentially self-taught. Camargo's first solo exhibit was in 2002. Shortly afterwards, he was selected by the Mexican National Council for Culture and the Arts as a Promising Emerging Artist from the state of Morelos. In 2004, he co-founded Zarco Gallery, an independent space for contemporary art in Cuernavaca.

The Origins of SinkArtist TM: Art is everywhere. I have spent a few years painting on canvas, with either oil paints or acrylic. I noticed that I could blend with acrylic the best and that when water is added, the outcome can be stunning. With canvas, however, it's really difficult to prevent absorption of the paint. It dries so quicky! I began to explore working on other types of media. SinkArtist was born somewhat accidentally. But the idea is simple - we spend so much of our time face down.
DC area artist, Deborah Walmer, manipulates and layers bold colors of oil paints her own version of cubism. Her paintings have been described as paper unfolded or stained glass. You can see the influence of Picasso, Braque, Dali, and Kahlo in her paintings. In addition, she has recently expanded into Abstract works. These abstract paintings are a mix of textures which include oil paint, oilstik, acrylic, paper, fabric, and found objects, woven together with the techniques of the cubism genre.
