Angel Albie Anjos

is a Multidisciplinary Artist based in Oakland, CA, and working in San Francisco and the Bay Area.

Angel's art practice is an introspective reflection of the emotional and physical experience of queerness; specifically articulating its profound and historical resilience. By examining lived, intimate moments captured through photography, they aim to empower those misunderstood for their intersections of race, gender, and sexuality. Angel teleports the viewer into a visual world that accepts and fosters authentic freedom. Exploring multicultural identity, the queer body", and queer visual representation in society and history through a multidisciplinary lens, primarily using figurative painting, ceramic sculpture, and photography.

Each piece combines the body with symbolic metaphors illustrated through nature, texture, and an emphasis on highly saturated color to develop a dramatized and exaggerated exposition of queerness and transness in its highest form. This unrealistic, supernatural aesthetic stems from a desire to contrast the harsh narratives we face daily to expand the language of achievable visual representation and allows for an investigation into the future of queerness.
