Biography
Apexer was born in San Francisco, California in 1978. He is a third generation San Franciscan. He is Latino and African-American.

Apexer studied classical art techniques, architecture, graphic design, and art history while trying to develop his own artistic identity. Apexer credits the San Francisco-based community organization, Precita Eyes with guiding him to finding his own artist voice. “If I’m painting from my imagination, I’m representing everybody,” said APEX. “I’m not representing one person. Or one race.”
