Bio
Born in 1994, Max Reinhard is a painter and illustrator, whose focus is on academic painting, surreal illustrations, and fantasy art. Reinhard's work evokes dream-like imagery & fantastical themes to create an ethereal and unsettling visual narrative. He often uses a mixed media approach, alternating between acrylic paints, gouache, pastel, colored pencil, collage, and more. Capturing mood through use of color is paramount to his practice.
