Christian Acamo 

Visual artist, designer and musician currently based in Kansas City, Missouri.

The artwork I create aims to capture the colorful expression in which I view the world. My inspiration drives from the desire to communicate the fleeting emotions and non-physical qualities of life. Spirituality, healing and visions of a future earth are topics I continue to explore through my own experiences.

My interest in both painting and music led to performing live art at events. I have painted at many music events including Wakarusa, Dancefestopia, Backwoods Music Festival, and countless local shows in the Kansas City and St. Louis area. 

I earned my BFA in Graphic Design from the University of Central Missouri in 2015 and emphasized in Painting.  

In 2015 I co-created an artist brand called "Strange Nature." We designed original apparel pieces with our artwork and traveled to festivals around the United States selling our creations.  

With an emphasis on designing apparel I am experienced in product concept, illustration and production.

In 2015 I attended a workshop held in Upstate New York at COSM taught by Chris Dyer. The focus of the workshop was on how to make a living as an artist.

In 2016-2017 I was working on murals with local Kansas City artists Sike Style and Lucid.

Currently I have been focusing on creating new music content both as a singer songwriter acoustic and as a vocalist on electronic tracks. In my painting I have been creating mostly personal work and doing commissions upon request and review.
