About the Item
'Antonio' by Shelly Madruga is a character-rich portrait rendered in oil on canvas. Measuring 7 x 5 in, this piece showcases the artist's distinctive style and command of composition. A perfect addition for collectors seeking contemporary character-richs with presence and personality.
Shelly Madruga is known for her large-scale abstract paintings, full of sweeping movement, tonal layering, and confident mark-making. Based in her hometown of San Diego, she creates each piece with a striking blend of intuition and control—often trading in traditional brushes for a carpenter’s trowel, a nod to her roots as the daughter of a builder. The result is work that feels both physical and deeply felt, full of energy and texture.
Before turning to painting full-time, Shelly spent over twenty years in graphic design, working at an internationally recognized advertising agency. Her background in color theory still plays a central role in her creative process today. What began as abstract portraiture evolved into moody, minimalist landscapes—and now, into dynamic, gestural abstractions layered with light, shadow, and emotion.
At the heart of Shelly’s work is a desire to translate feeling into form. Her paintings often sit in the space between calm and urgency, stillness and movement. They’re not meant to depict anything specific, but to evoke something personal and familiar—an emotional resonance that lingers just beneath the surface.

Ryan: Contemporary Abstract Oil Painting
By Alysha Grace Marko
Located in New York, NY
"Ryan" is a contemporary figurative oil painting completed in the summer of 2022, featuring a man in front of an abstract background. The contrast between the extreme abstraction of the background and the figurative foreground makes for a striking and energetic piece.
The model of the piece is Ryan, a close friend of the painter. On one summer night after a few glasses of wine, Alysha decided to paint Ryan in her studio. "I love painting from life, it translates so much better for me," said the artist.
