Adrian Manuel Pijoan


Bio

Adrian Pijoan is a Mexican-American new media artist and filmmaker. Sightings of Adrian have been reported at UFO festivals, Bigfoot research conferences, and in the dark recesses of the comments sections of low view count YouTube videos.

Adrian's work explores the realms of dreams, the paranormal, and horror. He's drawn to these subjects because he finds his own ecstasies and anxieties in tales of UFOs, cryptids, and other fantastical apparitions that have plagued and delighted humans for centuries. Do aliens traverse the night sky? Does Bigfoot haunt our sylvan forests? Does it matter? That’s the thing about folklore – the truth is not inevitable. What matters is how these stories reflect our shared hopes, dreams, fears, and traumas.

Adrian received his MFA in art and ecology from the University of New Mexico.

Adrian lives and works in New Mexico.
