My name is Dave Manousos. I am a fine artist living in Northern California Gold Country. Known for my bold brushwork and colorful interpretations of everyday life represented in the faces of my characters, I consider my style modern with a pop twist.

The bright color scheme defines the pop aspect of my artwork; however, the expressions of my subjects often take the piece out of the tropey pop space and move it into a subversive, serious space.

Most of my character paintings have dual personalities competing in a single space. When viewing one of my paintings, take your hand and cover one side of the face then do the same on the other side. You will see two different emotions or expressions co-existing in the same space.

My current Big Eye Collection is a compilation of character paintings that combine both my illustration and painting techniques.
