Philadelphia-based artist Paul Santoleri creates psychedelic pieces of work that builds a variety of stories. Santoleri’s art is seen all over the world, from airports to parks to the sides of buildings. 

Many of these art installations return back to the artist’s view on the natural world, such as his mural “The Watcher,” located in Summit, New Jersey, that pictures a huge Heron that sits atop a hodgepodge of black and white lines that are made to resemble water. Santoleri uses acrylic paint, as well as cloth to create this mural. 

Each person possesses a distinctive calling – a pull toward something that you feel uniquely qualified to do. They may have discovered this  during the innocent days of childhood or  adulthood. A calling is a magnetic force that ignites passion and purpose. It’s a beacon that guides individuals toward their contributions for the world. For educators, it involves developing young minds; for pastors, it involves sharing the gospel. Darius Baber’s calling is to create. Baber is a multi-talented artist, he  works as a painter, teacher, photographer,  model, and actor.  He has collaborated with well-known companies throughout his career, including Pantone, Stockx, Levi's, and Library Street Collective.

“For me, colors such as red, green, and blue are considered as noise. I draw with black ink on white paper on my black desk by excluding these kinds of noise completely.”

The early art of Japanese calligraphy artist Usugrow seldom settled in the light of an art gallery. The artist began his career designing flyers and posters in the 90s in the underground hardcore music scene.
