Standing before an AFA piece, you’re presented with a sense of curiosity and serenity.
As each moment passes, your mind is drawn deeper into the subtle details of each piece – exposing themselves as you take the time to ponder over it.
In your space, the connection you feel with your piece brings a new layer into your home, life, and art.
Colors and space overlapping take your mind on a story around the image, conducting a symphonic piece of art as you engage with it, focused or relaxed.
Representing themes of surrealism, the goal of our work is to transcend the human experience and exist on the edge of reality.
Balancing aesthetics, emotion, and purpose, each piece of work presents itself as a painting.
Most don’t immediately recognize they’re looking at a photograph, as the viewer is immediately transported into the story of the image.
The subconscious affect the photography continuously referred to as “a painting” has nothing to do with an effect or doctoring of the images.
It has everything to do with the framing of the shot, how the image presents itself in print, and the thematic ideas distilled into each piece.
Bespoke printing ensures the right print for the right room.
Every setting has its moods and tones,
we will ensure that your piece works for your environment,
fitting seamlessly into decor, lighting, and warmth.
Curation brings together works of art and shapes the image for the space.
Every environment is unique for the individual, and art should be unique to the individual, as well.
From fine-tuning your exclusive art piece, to creating a cohesive flow of images, to creating a fully unique 1 of 1 variation for you,
our Personal Curation Service ensures you get the most out of your space in life.
AFA stands to be a true form of representation and expression.
Highlighting beauty, truth, and thought, each image stands on its own as a powerful depiction of the subject and idea.
To authentically stand apart from the crowd, no images are doctored to misrepresent, interpret, or inflate the reality of what’s captured by the camera.
The art form of photography stands to capture life in still – when we capture life in still and doctor it to a falsified form, we are lying about our experiences, physically and internally.
Truly capturing the essence and magnificence of the experience, thought, and emotion of the moment and presenting it in a way that the viewer can feel, think, take in, and understand through an image, is a very powerful thing in art.
Each Gallery and Piece represent a cause that we will be working with and donating to.
Art is often a selfish thing, and I’m not shying away from that,
with the limited quantities and premium price points,
I anticipate these pieces to be very rare in the wild – which is exactly what I want.
Each piece has immense weight to my soul and being, and I prefer for them to be few and far between;
some may even say it’s like I don’t want anyone to own my art.
If you have the means to purchase a piece,
Congratulations,
not only are you in an exalted position, but you must also have fantastic taste to be looking through the AFA catalog.
To counteract the my own selfishness, as mentioned,
each piece and gallery has a prospective cause that a portion of proceeds will be going to.
Some collector’s may not be the biggest fan of this, but then they’re not for me, and that’s okay.
As my art has such a heavy weight on my soul, the more good I can do with it, the better.
If selling my art means that it benefits the environment,
provides clean drinking water,
helps rehabilitate those suffering from mental disabilities,
contributes to education and art programs,
then that is what it should do.
If you wish to contribute to any of these causes,

Lastly, Enjoy viewing the Gallery
This is where you can discover projects we are personally working on and planning for the future.
You will also find projects we have upcoming with other artists, collaborators, and culture curators.
There is a hit of dopamine that comes with discussing your plans, in which the likelihood of following though on the execution is inhibited.
As such,
Projects will be very limited to active works and few future endeavors, with the true purpose of educating supporters on what’s to come.
Projects are superior to a singular piece.
They will be large scale ideas encapsulated across multiple pieces that lock in a very specific idea.
Each Gallery is based around a specific theme
and within each gallery there are pieces that fit their specific ideas.
Some of these pieces may be used as the basis of a larger project around those ideas,
or through our Personal Curation Services for your private collection or residence.
