Christian Stanley

Christian Stanley is a Central Florida based artist that has lived in the Orlando area since graduating from the University of Central Florida in 2011 with a degree in graphic design. Born and raised in Stuart, Fl., Christian’s art is often influenced by his roots and love for the wildlife of the Southeast. From an early age Christian sought out natural settings for inspiration, and continues to enjoy hiking and wildlife spotting with his wife, Jessica. The two met in 2017 and soon after formed C. Stanley Creative while painting a small electrical box as a part of a community art initiative. Since then Christian has gone on to paint dozens of murals a year with his largest project to date spanning over 8,000 square feet in size. He has taken his mural art talents across the United States and overseas to international street art festivals.
Christian’s street art work is known for its signature “dash and dot” style, which borders on impressionism to give his subjects depth and vibrant color. He has had the privilege of working with large national brands and local community arts organizations alike. In his studio, Christian’s work often calls back to the flora and fauna of home, with occasional fantasy or surreal themes. His process involves concepting, digital illustration, and painting with the use of custom made stencils, spray paint, and acrylic paint. Christian has participated in shows and sold original works with ABV Gallery in Atlanta, Georgia.
