My Canvas
I specialize in acrylic on canvas and surreal concepts.
While Im a professionally trained Fine artist I i have found a deep connection to not just traditional paintings but also wall art, interior design , body painting and fashion.
I love how all these mediums communicates so much of the creator to the audience.
