Noel is a Mexican American Chicago-based artist who works across multimedia. Exploration of the cultural meanings associated with found objects is the driving force behind his practice of repurposing objects into new forms. All works are handmade with appreciation, attention to quality, and detail in mind; everything is a canvas.

Noel’s appreciation for design, craftsmanship, and experimentation has led him to unique brand projects with Knoll, USM Modular Furniture, RIMOWA, Soho House, and Porsche, to name a few. Noel has shown work at Expo Chicago and Future Fair in New York, with more projects and showings in the upcoming year.
