Christopharo is a fantasy artist who uses a variety of visual mediums
from traditional and digital painting to multi-media. Since early
childhood he has been inspired by dreams, fantasy, and mythology. His
older brother, Alex, who is also an artist, played an important role in
bringing new inspirations and art techniques to Christopharo including
an introduction into digital art.
After graduating
High School Chistopharo soon realized the importance of taking a more
disciplined plan of action toward a professional art career. This plan
of action led him to pursue studies that consisted of basic to advanced
art studies such as the disciplines of critical thinking, drawing
fundamentals, life drawing, and color theory. Soon after completing a
series of art courses Christopharo was hired on to work at a Hollywood
multi-studio location, where he worked on numerous animated shows such
as Cisco & Ripple (for Starz Encore); and was also contracted as an
illustrator for the movie The Shape of Things (for Working Title Films).
In his spare time Christopharo fine-tuned his skills at
various art schools such as Associates in Art where he received guidance
and mentorship from master artists including Mark Westermoe.
Christopharo has continued as a freelance artist, with over a decade of
relationships with companies such as NBCUniversal, MGA Entertainment,
and Starz Encore Group. He is currently working on a new series of
commissioned portraitures and is also exhibiting his 3-D and fantasy
art at various venues and galleries around the Inland Empire.
Christopharo is also a supporter for organizations like the Multiple Sclerosis Society, and Biking For America. Contact Christopharo for more details on how you can get involved.
