Scott Carrillo Azevedo

Biography
Scott Carrillo Azevedo (b 1983) is an emerging artist who lives and works in New Haven CT. He graduated from Sacramento State in 2022 with a dual degree: a BFA in Fine Art and a BA in Art History. In 2024 he was an artist in residence at the Ely Center of Contemporary Art. He has exhibited at 63 Audubon by Yale School of Art; the Ely Center of Contemporary Art in New Haven, CT and Kingston, NY; ART06870 Gallery, Greenwich, CT;  and in the LGBTQIA+ Artist Campaign at Golden1 Center, Sacramento, CA. Carrillo Azevedo has worked as a floral designer, which is evident in the foliage and flowers that dot his canvases as well as the ornate shapes created on plywood. He is a virtuoso painter, ranging from the meticulous depiction of people to more expressionist areas of paint applied to the canvas. Whether rendering scenes of family history of individuals, his paintings radiate with color and gesture, suggesting a celebratory attitude despite a past plagued by abuse, marginalization, and erasure.
