Joshua roman art

Joshua Roman is a California Based Fine artist and illustrator.
His instantly recognizable style seems to explode off the canvas and can be best be described as Figurative Surrealism. His use of intricate and vibrant rainbow lines, shapes and swirls give the pieces energy while sitting still. Playful creatures and surreal landscapes often contrast the eerie and sometimes sensual subject matter of his pieces. His portraits are unique and original while still capturing the essence of the subject. His distinct colorful works have been shown in Film, Television and Galleries around the World.
