Balderas creates a futuristic wasteland, where our progress and prosperity only serves now as a testament to our own hubris. Balderas shows his expertise in the medium by using classic painting techniques, his meticulous brushwork accompanied with his chiaroscuro background juxtaposed with flashes of neon that form a dystopic yet, in its discord you can find something more serene. The organic forms are balanced with the rigged structures that allows there to be an ambiguity between what is the material you are seeing.
