Meet the artists: Norbeto Mojardin

Posted
Norbeto Mojardin is an artist that can do it all.
 
He is a fashion designer, dancer, hair stylist, painter with a current focus on acrylics and creates with paper mâché — to name a few of his talents.
 
“Art invokes positivity,” Mojardin said. “By doing art, any type of art, I can express myself.”
 
Mojardin's work in the Hecho en Colorado exhibit is an elaborate evening gown with intricate designs of white birds and a colorful flora pattern on a black background.
 
“Artists need to be involved in their community,” Mojardin said. “It's inspirational when people can experience different types of art.”
 
Mojardin, 46, has been an artist all his life. He was born in Sonora, Mexico, and grew up in Arizona. As a survivor of abuse, he relocated to Colorado about 25 years ago to start a new life and “create a new world” for himself, he said. One reason he chose Colorado was because he loved the landscape, Mojardin said.
 
When he was a teen and young adult, Mojardin was involved in dance, namely folk and ballet. He discovered Denver when he performed for Pope John Paul II during his 1993 visit for World Youth Day.
 
“For me, Colorado is such a special place,” Mojardin said. “I will always feel that.”
 
Mojardin has been doing hair for nearly two decades — his passion for it stemming from the enjoyment of “helping women feel comfortable and happy with their identity,” Mojardin said. His salon, Beto's Hair Studio, is located at 5940 E. Colfax Ave., which is near the border of Denver's Montclair and South Park Hill neighborhoods.
 
Mojardin believes that everyone is an artist of sorts.
 
“All of us were born with a gift,” Mojardin said, adding that his hope is that his art will inspire positivity in others. His art something that he will leave behind for people to appreciate for many generations to come, he said. “I'm one who was lucky enough to have found this gift.”
Hecho en Colorado, Norbeto Mojardin
