It took years of painting together to create a cohesive visual language.

We’ve been sharing a studio since 2012 in which we create personal and collaborative artwork. People often ask how we can paint together on one canvas. Painters are usually solo operators. Embracing the creative process together means taking extra time to allow for personal expressions to find a way to merge into a collective painting, much like choreographing a dance.

Many of Duende As Art’s paintings are in collections around the world. Their paintings are lyrical in their abstraction. Filled with vibrant color and movement the viewer has room to travel and interpret the artwork in personal ways.
