Verwar

Calgary, Canada

Verwar is a mixed-media artist and visual arts teacher whose passion for narrative compels him to create. Focusing on the concept of fragmented storytelling combined with portraiture, he tries to showcase moments, landscapes, and characters from worlds beyond the viewer’s grasp. Colour, symbolism, and concept are foundational to his vibrant scenes, leading to the viewers’ ability to craft their own narrative. This leaves the viewer with questions about timelines which exist outside of the piece, or searching for the conclusion of who his characters are and where they belong.
