“Desde El Rancho Para El Mundo” Orlando Corona

Reception: July 18, 6:00 – 8:00pm

Orlando Corona is a professional visual artist specializing in painting, printmaking, murals and
teaching. After finding his passion for printmaking in his high school art class, he became
captivated by art and began exploring printing and painting. In 2022, Orlando was accepted into
the Brandon Fellowship program at the Greenville Center for Creative Arts, providing a pivotal
catalyst for his career, and becoming a full-time artist shortly after leaving the program. Orlando
has a passion for being involved in the community and helping others, often working with local
non-profits, artists and organizations.

Originally from Guanajuato, Mexico, Orlando moved to Greenville, South Carolina at the age of
10 with his family. Orlando draws deep inspirations from his roots as a first-generation Mexican
immigrant, often sharing stories and memories of his childhood in rural Mexico. His intentions
are about creating artwork that captures personal elements through his unique style, while
sharing his culture, telling stories and making fine art everyone can enjoy. He aims to inspire
others through his work and be an integral part of his community and the world.

“Desde El Rancho Para El Mundo” aims to capture the essence of the small Mexican town I
grew up in with an exploration through multiple mediums and techniques. The work in this show
tells personal and cultural tales and shows the beauty of my childhood home- an attempt to
capture the magic on paper and canvas. It will be some people’s first introduction to myself and
my identity that I am proud to showcase this way. This show is about taking more chances in my
craft, feeling free to explore my art and show the wealth of myself as an artist and individual.
