What started as doodles on the margins of his school work has evolved into a repertoire of art work that goes beyond the canvas and onto dinner plates and sheet cakes. Cisnerosòòò½ÊÓƵ™ art has kept evolving as heòòò½ÊÓƵ™s gotten older. While he still uses traditional artistsòòò½ÊÓƵ™ tools such as colored and graphite pencils, paints and crayons, heòòò½ÊÓƵ™s also embracing non-traditional mediums in his pieces.

òòò½ÊÓƵœI want to keep evolving and tackle new challenges,òòò½ÊÓƵ� Cisneros said. òòò½ÊÓƵœBeing an artist is all about finding new ways to express yourself.òòò½ÊÓƵ�
