Bon Adriel A

I am an emerging artist based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have been part of two juried, local art shows, as well as one international art show. I paint mostly using acrylics, gouache, and watercolours. My style is influenced by pop art, Japanese manga, and surrealism. I like using bright colours and symbolism in my work, which tends to make the paintings look bright and fun, while hiding a contradicting, dark and lonely idea.

I am currently pursuing a Computer Science PhD degree at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My research is about engaging the public in health and energy data awareness through visualizations or interactive visual representations of data. This involves creating artistic, visual representations that are appealing to the majority, yet also functional in the sense that people can read the data from it.
