Huertaâ??s paintings are in the collections of Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA and Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA, among others.

Huerta takes cues from his environment and relationships as points of departure. He works in representational painting â?? primarily portraiture â?? distilling elements of classicism with a modern social and cultural scrutiny. While his distinct bodies of work can be linked through their shared investigations and considerations of identity, his work remains engaged in a delicate balance between rich color and strong brushwork and an unassuming intimacy that provokes self-reflexivity in its viewers.
