about the artist

Artist Advay Mengle and his painting Antipasto I, On Exhibition at Art Works Downtown

“A painting should grab you by the throat, and not let you go.”

Advay Mengle (b. 1989, Los Angeles) is an American painter, photographer, and printmaker based in the San Francisco Bay. Advay works in bursts of bold, vibrant color with flat fields, thick, marbled, palette knife impasto, and feathered, flowing forms. His style spans from expressionist figuration to pure abstraction. Years of street, landscape, and wildlife photography and quantum physics inspire many of his compositions. In 2025, his first year of exhibiting, Advay has been curated into over 18 juried exhibitions worldwide, with works on view across the Los Angeles, San Francisco Bay, and Sacramento areas, along with Spain, UK, France, and Japan.

Outside of the arts, Advay is an engineer, technology executive, and entrepreneur, currently serving as founder and CEO of a tech startup, previously at Google, Microsoft, and VP Engineering for a robotics AI company. Advay is an inventor of over 25 granted patents in software architecture, artificial intelligence, digital commerce, and advertising.
