Federico
Archuleta
Stencil Artist · Muralist
Based in El Paso, Texas
Federico Archuleta — El Federico — is the El Paso stencil artist whose larger-than-life portraits of Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, The Clash and Bob Dylan made him a fixture of Austin's walls. Some of those walls have come and gone over the years, but plenty of his murals can still be spotted around town.
A first-generation American raised on the El Paso border, he layers spray paint and hand-cut stencils into Tex-Mex pop art — Catholic iconography, música and American rock & roll in bright, forceful color.
