29/07/2016 by

Talented upcoming illustrator Annelise Ross-Clunis will be one of our Featured Artists at CCC16!

Annelise’s birth country is South Africa, but with Cypriot and Swedish ties. In her earlier years her drawings were mostly illustrations in pencil and ink, then she moved on to study Graphic Design.

Make sure to follow her work on Facebook to stay up to date with her new work.

Presently she works mainly with Acrylic paints on canvas. She finds herself drawn towards genres such as pop surrealism and fan art. Some pieces are highly detailed, to convey a story or a feeling, while in some cases there is a hidden meaning behind innocent-looking characters.

Her most recent work is illustrating a book of weird and wonderful creatures. An exhibition of some of A.R.Clunis original paintings will be held in January 2017 in Nicosia.
