Calgary based artist, Ian Navarro, has always been inclined in the arts. Early on being inspired by comic books and Saturday morning cartoons, Ian would draw his favourite characters to his heart’s content. With a majority of his work based in comic art, it’s only in recent years that Ian has tried his hand at painting. Mainly working digitally for several years, switching to a traditional medium such as acrylic paint, was found to be very challenging. But after some trial and error he finally found his footing with the medium and continues to grow and improve as a painter. Ian’s current collection of paintings are portraiture’s that contrast against abstract and surreal elements. With his art, Ian’s goal is simply to try create an aesthetic the viewer can enjoy and connect with.
