ABOUT THE ARTIST

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 both flat color fields and thick, marbled, palette knife impasto, combining three-dimensional forms and two-dimensional figures in a single space. Years of street, landscape, and wildlife photography and physics inspire many of his compositions. Advay is a member of the California Art Club, Berkeley Art Center, California Art League, and Pacific Art League.

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.
