Aaron Douglas Estrada (b.1994) is an artist whose work examines moments of play and materiality. He is a first generation Los Angeles Salvadorian native. He incorporates a mixture of found materials and traditional techniques to create work that explores identity, the dynamic of commodities, and navigating life’s everyday struggle. He is creating repositories that include found objects, sayings, and cultural signifiers into his sculptures, paintings, and public artworks.

 He is a co-founding member of 3B, a collective of Los Angeles-based artists and designers who focus on large scale, site-specific public works. 3B’s work reflects their commitment to providing an inclusive platform that encourages pride and recognition of the different facets in the communities they work in. They have created permanent site-specific and public art projects for the Museo Infantil Oaxaca, UCLA, UCSD, California State University Stanislaus, and are currently working on public works for the Los Angeles County Department of Arts and Culture.

Estrada has a BA in Fine Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles and received his MFA in Sculpture + Extended Media from Virginia Commonwealth University. His work has been exhibited internationally in Spain, El Salvador, and Mexico.
