Jose E. Lopez grew up in South Florida and lived in a home where art was well accepted. It was a place where creativity and imagination was always celebrated. Being a part of such an environment has inspired him to pursue his passion for art within the graphic design world, leading him to earn a Bachelors of Fine Arts in graphic design.

His style and many of his inspirations stem from Dadaism, Expressionism, Constructivism and Mid-century illustration and design. In addition, graphic artists Ryan and Don Clark, Stefan Sagmeister, Shephard Fairey, Jim Flora, Paul Rand, and others have and continue to inspire him. Each has had a tremendous influence on how he views and creates well-made and thoughtful visuals through his work.

Jose's work has been included in various art exhibits and has been displayed in the Museum of Art | For Lauderdale for their "Be Inspired" exhibit.

Currently, Jose Lopez runs and owns his own graphic design business in Fort Lauderdale called Freedom Art Inc. Jose is also the creator, producer, and curator for his art exhibition series project in South Florida called For Art's Sake! He has the fervent desire to enhance the growing art culture in South Florida, specifically in the Fort Lauderdale area. He also sits on the Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale's steering committee, "All Together Now".
