Phillip Saunders

Phillip Saunders is a multidisciplinary artist and arts educator based in Toronto, Ontario. His practice includes oil painting, charcoal drawing, mural making, and digital illustrations. Phillip explores two worlds in his art practice: his oil paintings contrast sharply with his mural works. His oil practice adopts a traditional realist approach reminiscent of the old masters, while his mural work takes on a contemporary pop art feel.

In his mural art, he explores the interplay of colours and emotions through his colourful portraits. His distinctive use of colour and abstract patterns portrays a unique perspective on human emotion via colour theory, aiming to invoke joy, reflection, and happiness in the viewer.
