About Me

Please allow me to introduce myself... My name is Samuel Canales i am Chicago's finest formally trained freelance Artist. I studied Fine Arts, Visual communications at The American Academy of Art Chicago where i follow in thee foot steps of many Famous alumni as Alex Ross (DC Comics, Gil Elvgren ( Sexy Pin-Up Artist)... and many many more Great Artists!After graduating from The American Academy of Art Chicago I recieved a position as thee Art Director of Elite Model Management Chicago. While working there I was inspired by all thee Unique Beauty that presented itself on a daily basis. I befriended many by collaborating with the Talent, and on many occasions took candid photographs that influenced my work to this day.By far my strongest skill is thee ability to See. I use lines to accenuate my subjects strongest features. My Art varies in mediums, but i have always used lines to emphasize contours, composition, and even texture in my work.By observing my Art one can't help but notice the Strong Sexual undertone. When i begin a piece it is because of a Desire to capture one's Beauty. In all my portraits i try to grasp the Essence of the personality in my subjects. The result is what you see! xoxoxoxoAS OF NOW I AM ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS. PLEASE EMAIL ME @ [email protected], FOR CONTACT AND MORE INFO.
