ESTRIA began spray painting in Hawai’i in 1984 and has since painted hundreds of murals. He was an influential leader of the “Golden Age” of graffiti (1980’s) in San Francisco. He garnered national attention with his arrest for graffiti in 1994 appearing on CNN, the San Francisco Chronicle and Examiner, and the National Enquirer.

He has taught classes and served the community through his non-profit cultural work for over 28 years. Estria’s life work has been to build and advance community through mural projects.
