As a youngster, Gerado Saenz, realized his love of art when he began to draw stick figures and sunsets during school. Now a 47-year-old husband and father, he continues to bring his passion for art and music to life with 'TAPEstry Art,' wherein he creates abstract art on old cassette tapes.

According to a Twitter post shared last week by his daughter, Tatianna, Saenz's excitement about hosting his first ever art exhibit soon turned sour when no one was available to attend.

"One day the Weslaco Bicultural Museum gave me an opportunity to display my work. Unfortunately the weather was [so] bad that no one was able to show up," Saenz toldMashable. "I was down about it but the volunteers and I made the best of it."
The tweet went viral and soon Saenz began receiving likes and compliments from complete strangers intrigued by this work. At the time of this writing, the tweet has received over 190,000 likes and over 76,000 retweets.
Requests for his artwork were pouring in and the talented dad began selling his work on Etsy.com. His works have inspired people across the world, including Hawaii, Dubai, France, Brazil, Canada, and Denmark.
Saenz said that he owes most of his success to '80s music, cassette tapes, and the beautiful sight of sunsets.
"I realized that growing up in the '80s, it brought many memories of when I would sit and watch the sunset while listening to music on various cassette tapes," said the artist. "Now I envision those memories and experiment with different paints creating swirls on the tapes as if the echoes of music and memories ran through me."
What's next for Saenz you ask? Maybe an art tour? Who knows!
"I am so excited for the future and so thankful for everyone who has shown support," said Saenz.
