Beau Carnes (b.1994) is an artist currently residing in Denver, CO.

Beau’s artistic journey is a dialogue between his adult perspective and the childlike curiosity that once fueled his imagination. Captivated by Photoshop from an early age, he began manipulating images in ways that seemed both impossible and deeply engaging. This formative relationship with digital imagery has significantly influenced his artistic voice, allowing him to craft works that resonate with themes of brokenness and surrealism.

In his exploration of magical realism, Beau transforms everyday objects and familiar settings into captivating visual narratives. Each piece serves as a layered conversation, where rich textures and vibrant colors invite viewers to look deeper. Drawing inspiration from the techniques and imagery of the old masters, he seeks to anchor his creations in a sense of beauty and historical context.

Through the interplay of the familiar and the fantastical, he aims to create a realm where the improbable ignites curiosity and invites reflection.
