Christian is an oil painter with a focus on figure and landscape painting. His style plays a lot into the romantic era with some influence from expressionism. He loves to dance with the paint and often wants to portray a mood obvious to the viewer, no question on what they should feel or what a piece represents./sf

I am so excited to be participating in art battle! Painting is a huge passion of mine. I am currently enrolled at asu majoring in art education.

Thanks to all who came out to support all the artists who are participating in the event. My name is Chadwick "The Chadillac" Pasqual from the Gila River Indian Community. This is my first Art Battle and I am excited to show my artistic skill.

Zon was influenced by the street art in São Paulo, Brazil where he grew up. Zon uses acrylic, spray paint and markers because of the vibrancy of their colors and fast drying time, allowing Zon to create multiple layers and textures that simulate an urban vibe./sf

Looking forward to seeing you all and creating another memorable evening!!
