BIO
Bryan Barnes is an artist based out of San Diego, California. His work is a sharp contrast to that of the sunny weather found on the West Coast. Much of his subject matter could possibly be considered dark and morose in tone, but upon further inspection, a keen sense of detail, spirituality and optimism is shown.
Bryan was born in Brea in 1979 and raised in Temecula. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design from California State University, San Bernardino. Originally on a basketball scholarship to CSUSB, he decided to pursue art (and studies) full time to further focus on his true artistic passions in life.
