Christo Anto Francis
Christo Anto Francis is an illustrative painter based in Canada. He holds a bachelorβs degree in illustration from Sheridan College, Oakville, Canada. Inspired by academic art and contemporary art, he finds a sweet spot in painting people and showing the simple, beautiful and sometimes troubling aspects of life.
He is a freelance illustrator with ample gallery exposure. Inspired by the likes of William Adolphe Bouguereau, John Singer Sargent to Jon Whitcomb, he looks at depicting humanity at its various moments. He focuses primarily on people and creates works which speak on a human level.
A playful and experimental approach to designs is what keeps Christoβs ideas fresh and exciting. Constantly scraping, changing and tweaking shapes gives his ideas new life. Painting digitally and traditionally gives him a certain freedom in his work and its specific outcomes. He uses brushes and textures profusely to mould and change to achieve the finished painting.
