Christian Schmitz is a mixed media artist based in Evansville, Indiana.

who uses his camera and acrylic paint to create surreal portraiture.

His style consists of heavy manipulation and distortion to his captured photography,

taking the human body, and turning it into an unrecognizable abstract shape.

He often doodles and paints cartoonesque faces

to bring a strange/surreal lifeform to his pieces.

He is inspired by the awkward wall of human interaction

that prevents people from connecting with one another.

Every person has something to teach,

as does every conversation,

It’s up to you whether you listen or not.
