Antonio Pelayo Animal Paintings

Born in Glendale, CA, and raised in the Mexican countryside, Antonio Pelayo uses his artwork to question ideologies of home, identity, and trust. Moving from a quintessential American suburb replete with white picket fences to a tiny village of adobe churches urged Pelayo to adapt, while simultaneously searching for himself amongst the teasing cries of other children. Looking for solace, he picked up a pencil and began to draw using the murals of Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, and Orozco to inspire him. Upon moving back to Glendale, his world was once again upended and he once again used his artwork as a way to forge connections. In 1994, he joined Disney Studio’s Ink & Paint Department where he learned traditional celluloid animation techniques. It was in this context that Pelayo could imagine his portrait works could be exhibited, and have a direct, powerful impact on an audience. The intimacy and vulnerability between the subject and artist is one facet of what inspires Pelayo to create hyper-realistic and extremely detailed portraits. A stark contrast to the linework that he has worked on at Disney for over two decades, his fine art pieces explore the most intimate pieces of ourselves.

Elegant Bird Facing Left - Original Framed Animal Painting on Paper
By Kellie Newsome
Located in Los Angeles, CA

This one-of-a-kind 14-inch high by 11-inch wide mixed-media artwork is created with acrylic and pencil on watercolor paper. The artwork comes beautifully adorned with a gold frame, which is included in the size and price of the piece.

Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors. Newsome says about her work: “Painting is my passion; I enjoy the process of capturing something beautiful and organic while creating contrast with vibrant and pastel colors combined with quiet spaces and bold mark-making. My subject matter is often plants or animals that make me feel empowered or inspired as metaphors for my own life experiences.” Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised on a small farm in Alabama, Newsome's love for flora and fauna shines through in her work. Her art practice received sponsorship from Chroma's Atelier Interactive brand of paint while she attended Troy University. Today, her artworks are collected across the United States, and she continues to create from her studio in Columbus, Georgia.
