Eluterio Lopez ​​

Eluterio Lopez is a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in San Francisco whose work blurs the line between art, fashion, and performance. Born and raised in Lodi, California, Lopez began creating as a way to process emotion and build connection — transforming raw experience into color, texture, and form.

Through his brand Optimistic State of Mind, Lopez reimagines streetwear as a canvas for healing and rebellion. Each piece, whether painted by hand or brought to life on the runway, reflects his belief that creativity is a tool for self-discovery and community empowerment. His work often merges live painting, storytelling, and wearable art to explore themes of identity, transformation, and resilience.

Known for his energetic use of color and experimental approach, Lopez invites audiences to see art not as something to look at, but something to live in — a reminder that optimism isn’t naïve, it’s radical.
