The artist:
Eduardo Oropeza (1947 -- September 11, 2003) was a contemporary, well listed artist known for his sculpture as well as his Chicago cityscapes vistas.
Raised in California's Silicon Valley and a longtime resident of east LA, Eduardo Oropeza began his academics with Social Studies. After taking an art course, he later had an epiphany, changed majors and received a Master of Fine Arts degree from San Jose State, specializing at first in sculpture . He followed this with postgraduate work at San Jose, San Diego State at Long Beach and Palomar College. He later moved to painting, and fell in love with Chicago's nighttime skyline cityscape vistas. He captures the twinkling lighting, giving it an ethereally spiritual feel.
