Send us Fan Mail Trauma Behind the GlamorFeaturing Calicho Arévalo: Urban Surrealism & Wildlife OxymoronsOn this episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, we step inside the world of Calicho Arévalo, an artist and architect whose work transforms the chaos of the city into a living, breathing ecosystem of color, imagination, and emotional truth.Born in Bogotá and now rooted in New York City, Calicho creates art that blurs the line between the real and the surreal. His signature style, Urban Surrealism, fuses architectural precision with the wild, playful energy of the inner child. Through his concept of the “Wildlife Oxymoron,” he reimagines animals as guardians of the concrete jungle, revealing the contradiction of nature surviving — and thriving — inside the artificial world we build around ourselves.But behind the vibrant colors, the iconic cityscapes, and the global collaborations with brands like Puma, Foot Locker, and NAMI, there is a deeper story.A story of belonging.A story of transformation.A story of searching for home in a world that is constantly shifting.Calicho’s recurring Portals are more than artistic motifs — they are metaphors for the moments in life when we step through pain, identity, displacement, and reinvention. His journey, like his art, is layered with resilience, imagination, and the emotional truth of someone who has learned to navigate multiple worlds at once.In this intimate conversation, we explore the man behind the murals, the architect behind the surrealism, and the human behind the glamor. We talk about the experiences that shaped him, the trauma that informed his vision, and the healing that continues to guide his mission — including his commitment to animal rescue and advocacy.This is Calicho Arévalo beyond the canvas.This is the story behind the art.This is Trauma Behind the Glamor.• Trauma Behind the Glamor• Calicho Arévalo• Urban Surrealism• Mental Health + Art• NYC creatives• Your brand (MrTraumaTalks)#CalichoArevalo#UrbanSurrealism#WildlifeOxymoron#NYCArtist#BogotaToNYC#StreetArtNYC#TraumaBehindTheGlamor#YourTraumaTalks#MrTraumaTalks#HealingJourney#MentalHealthAwareness#TraumaSurvivorStories#EmotionalHealing#BreakTheStigma#HealingThroughArt#ArtAndTrauma#InnerChildHealing#ResilienceStories
