Emmanuel 'Zags' Ar茅izaga is an up and coming young artist. His 3D and 'anamorphic' depictions have come to the attention of the Arts Council of the Central Okanagan.
Now ARTSCO is sponsoring Ar茅izaga at Arts on the Avenue, July 28 in downtown Kelowna.
Ar茅izaga is a young artist and animator from Kelowna. Currently pursuing a career in animation, Ar茅izaga香蕉视频直播檚 work is heavily influenced by the work of artists like M.C. Escher and J.R.R. Tolkien. Mixing realism with fantastical settings and subjects, Ar茅izaga's passion for surrealism allows him to breathe life into his imaginative works.
Ar茅izaga often works with pencils, pens, charcoal, pastels and chalk, but he also frequently works with acrylic, oil and digital paintings. His current work mixes traditional art with 3D animation.
