ABOUT THE ARTIST
Hey! I’m Desoray Kencayd, an independent Canadian artist creating from beautiful British Columbia.
Art has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up drawing, painting, sewing, making crafts, taking pottery and creative classes, and finding just about any excuse I could to make something with my hands.
That never really stopped.. the materials just multiplied.
After high school, I went on to complete an accelerated college program in 2D animation, where I expanded those creative foundations through life drawing, animation principles, character work and digital art using programs such as Photoshop. That training opened up an entirely new set of tools for me and still influences the way I approach characters, movement, composition and visual storytelling today.
My work has never been limited to one medium. Along with original paintings and drawings, I sculpt, create wearable and miniature artwork, design original characters, and completely transform existing collectibles into new one-of-a-kind pieces.
I love taking an idea that exists only in my imagination.. sometimes strange, sometimes funny, sometimes beautiful — and figure out how to make it real.
Over the years, my original paintings, commissioned works and other handmade pieces have found homes with collectors and customers through private sales, my online shop and local markets.
Nature has also been a huge part of my life and imagination. Growing up in British Columbia gave me a deep love for mountains, trees, orchards, lakes and those places where you can disappear from everything for a while. Those landscapes and feelings still find their way into the worlds I create.
I now live with multiple illnesses that have changed how freely I’m able to physically explore those places. Because of that, art has become even more important to me.
It’s my happy place. It’s my joy. It’s where I feel most completely in my element.
When my body puts limits on where I can go, my imagination doesn’t have to follow them.
Whether I’m painting a landscape, sculpting something unexpected, transforming a collectible, or inventing a group of little robots gathering together to watch the sunset at the end of the day, I love creating artwork with personality, storytelling and small details that give you something new to discover when you look again.
