Printed Canvas

A self-taught artist, Cuevas left a career in public policy to pursue art full time. Although at first frightened to take that blind leap of faith, Cuevas never looked back as he transfers original oil paintings into greeting cards, paper goods, and various home goods, including ornaments, pillows and tableware. Everyday, he wakes up, puts on his mix of favorite jazz albums, and paints the images in his head. “I don’t feel my life needs to be dark and melancholy in order to create art; I truly enjoy painting cheerful subjects” says Cuevas on the subject of his work.
