Christo Anto Francis

Merging academic and contemporary painting into one, Christo Anto Francis, an illustrative painter hailing from Canada captures people at various moments of their lives. The artist carefully crafts paintings which have arresting emotions and shows beauty, simplicity, elegance, eccentricity and naughtiness in them. Experimenting with shapes and designs, he investigates the portraits of having these qualities and picks one that stands out in people.

Christo describes his works as "contemporary realism" drawing attention to portraits and how each painting tells a story about that person. The portraits are playful, cheeky, innocent and many more; a cornucopia of human emotions which are explored by him. Switching from traditional oil painting to digital and vice versa gives him the freedom to mix and match different textures while keeping the methodology consistent.
