Portfolio Example & Artist Statement
Del Curfman

I am a contemporary Native American oil painter who combines figurative realism with dynamic narrative compositions and vibrant pop art-inspired backgrounds. Using oil paints, I render and paint Native models along with symbolic elements, capturing cultural heritage and personal stories. My paintings incorporate bold, graphic patterns and vibrant color palettes typical of pop art, juxtaposed with intricate storytelling and symbolic representations of Native identity. The juxtaposition of realism with pop art aesthetics creates a striking contrast, blending tradition with modern expression to evoke powerful emotional and cultural narratives.
