About

Born, raised, and based in Southern Oregon, Adrian has been studying both classical and Spanish styles of painting. He exercised in drawing from an early age and later moved from graffiti to painting portraiture. With a pictorial style aiming towards Impressionism, he displays the relationship between light and dark, both visually and contextually. 

Adrian is currently enrolled at Southern Oregon University and is working in an apprenticeship with painter Ryan Moon, where he aims to build on his practice. His experiences range from curating exhibitions, teaching private courses, gallery management and painting public murals.

He derives inspiration from many different painters, directors, photographers, and musicians. His favorites include Alex Kanevsky, Bill Henson, Crystal Castles, and Denis Villeneuve.
