Like many inspired young artists, he first recognized his creative drive through crayon drawings on his parents&rsquo; walls.<\/p><p>After excelling in an introductory drawing class at school, Craig continued to develop technically and conceptually through his own studies, while still planning to pursue a formal art education.<br \/>He learned how to frame artwork while working part-time at a small framing shop during his studies, and a few months later, his coworker pointed him in the direction of Deljou in Atlanta. He was hired and remained in framing for four years after pioneering the establishment of the department before realigning himself with his passion for art and joining the league of other artists in the art studio.<\/p><p>His prolific career is the culmination of manual artistic skill and a keen aesthetic sense that has evolved from a \u201cslow and studied\u201d approach to one that is \u201cquick and free of precise thought.\u201d Craig&rsquo;s collections range from abstract expressionism to haunting graphic realism, each reflecting the unique vision of its creator. He is best known for his Populus series, inspired by a balcony overlooking Orange Beach, Alabama, where guests enjoying a wedding party appeared to form the shape of an eye where they stood. Craig explains, \u201cInspiration begins with \u2018What if&#8230;\u2019 as I envision other images, surfaces, effects, outcomes, etc. It comes from the past in conjunction with the present. Like a flash of lightning.\u201d Since that epiphany, his Populus series now features dozens of celebrities and icons of all ages, including: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Freddie Mercury, James Bond, Salvador Dali, Pablo Picasso, Van Gogh, Gandhi, James Dean, Lady Justice, John Lennon, Queen Elizabeth, Darth Vader, Michael Jackson, Audrey Hepburn, and many more! Craig is publicly recognized as an innovator in the visual arts industry and has achieved many spectacular feats over the years.<\/p><p>Craig is humble when he sees his work inspiring the creativity of enthusiasts in various forms, including commercials and advertisements. He asserts that \u201cart must be responsible for its purpose: to inspire and improve.\u201d To aspiring artists, he offers this encouraging advice: \u201cBe yourself and do what YOU want to do, not what someone else advises or suggests,\u201d and, as his grandfather used to say, \u201cNever give up!\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3837cef8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3837cef8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7ce1cd3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"7ce1cd3\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-16c87fd elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"16c87fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/gg-artibiza.com\/en\/artists\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">BACK TO ARTISTS<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mixed media on wood and resinOriginal artwork \u2013 One-of-a-kind piece90 x 90 x10 cms Request for information Biography CRAIG ALAN Born in 1971 in San Bernardino, California, Craig grew up in the Atlanta area.
