Ethereal Cove Dutch Pour - new collaboration with Kanella Ciraco!!

SO excited to share this new collab with Kanella Ciraco! She sent me the fluid base, and I added my touch. It was fun getting to experiment with different ideas. I felt like I gave myself permission to try new things since we were collaborating, whereas I probably would have "stayed in my lane" if this was a solo release. What do you guys think? <3

Turning fluid art into abstract surrealism

Excited to debut something a bit different than my usual style. This is a collaboration with Kanella Ciraco, a fluid artist (you may have seen her on YouTube). She sent me this "dutch pour" as we call it in the pour painting community, and I built an ethereal world around it using airbrush, masking tape, freestyle paint flings, and fine brush work. I hope you like it!

Spa day, Acrylic/canvas, Andrea Kovacs Painter

I created this painting based on a request. The idea was to depict a frog family (father, mother, and their little daughter) in a spa-like environment, bathing together in a bowl of ramen. I’ve included the initial sketch and an early stage of the painting process as well.

I sometimes like to paint directly onto unprimed canvas, because the natural canvas texture subtly shows through and enhances the final result.

Painting a boat

Another night session on this one. 18x24” oil on canvas. I passed this little boat one morning this week between job sites and knew I had to paint it.

Queer Plaza St Hubert (Montreal)

Swipe for the design process :-) 22x90" banner, mostly done digitally (Procreate). Of course, HUGE inspiration from Alphonse Mucha/Art Nouveau movement.

It was great seeing this piece live on Plaza St-Hubert for 2024 summer ! Right in the heart of the bridal district ahah

Since a few Montrealers reached out after seeing it on the street, I’ve decided to make it as a print with a more universal message :-P
