Oscar Molina is a multi-faceted painter and sculptor who lives and works in Southampton, NY. Molina is most well-known for his “Children of the World” series which consists of large and small-scale sculptures as well as abstract paintings. The works in this series are inspired by and emanate from the artist’s vivid memories of his treacherous journey through the desert as a 16-year-old youth escaping the violence of then war-torn El Salvador in the hopes of finding safe haven in the United States.
