Visual Art – Los Angeles

Octavia Curiosities is a collective of artwork conjured up by Alecks Rizo and Cassandra Carrillo. Local goods from local ghouls haunting Los Angeles. Cassandra Carrillo is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist working as a graphic designer, painter, muralist, and sculptor. By fusing her knowledge of character art, with interest in metaphysical philosophy she has created an art form of satirical portraiture that exhibits spiritual duality. She continues to feature artwork in galleries across California, as well as collaborate with local artists in new mediums along the way. Alecks RIZO is a mixed media artist based out of Los Angeles CA. Her work includes alchemical formulations, osteological oddities, and photography. Her professional portfolio ranges from lifestyle brand photos, event photography, press shots & creative portraits. When she isn't working with a client, Alecks is dedicated to her personal unorthodox creations. In February of 2017, she debuted her first series, CAPTURA, at Rising Moon Gallery during the DTLA Artwalk. In January of 2018, The Artery hosted her first solo photography exhibition. The series, entitled Corpus Delicti, was an imaginative perspective on forensic photography. She is currently working on her next series in collaboration with Artist Cassandra Carrillo. The pair work under the alias Octavia, combining their talents to create a cabinet of dark curiosities and oddities.
