Abel Reynoso has over twenty five years of experience as a law enforcement professional. During this time, he has worked and trained with many police and military units. As an artist, he specializes in police and military art. His work has been published in books, magazines and periodicals. Abels prints are also displayed in many police and military television shows and movies. Several of his murals and paintings decorate the walls of the Los Angeles Police Department. His prints hang in many federal buildings, police departments and embassies around the world. Abels love for art developed during his childhood and continues throughout his life. Although he never received any formal art training, his unique selftaught style was developed while living in Europe and studying the masters. After college he joined the Los Angeles Police Department and eventually moved on to a law enforcement career with the federal government. While pursuing his career, he was able to combine his artistic talent and the knowledge of police work to create his own style of art. His first law enforcement painting was commissioned by the LAPD for the 1984 Olympic Games. Since then, he has been requested to create artwork for several federal, state and local law enforcement agencies which include the FBI, DEA, U.S. Marshal, U.S Customs and the Los Angeles County Sheriff Department, among others. His work brings together two passions in his life: art and police work. After so many years of law enforcement service, he has lived and collected a diverse amount of experience. Abel believes that the view of those who sit and watch is usually not the same as the ones in the arena. All this knowledge is reflected in his work. Through his art, Abel is committed to honoring the careers and professionals that do so much to keep our world safe but are seldom recognized.
