HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: MYRTO PETROU
HIGH ART 2020 SPOTLIGHT: MYRTO PETROU
“The Croc, The Herb and The Magic Bus”
Myrto Petrou is an illustrator from Cyprus, currently residing in Dubai. His current style is inspired by the lowbrow ‘Kustom Kulture’ movement of the 1950s and 1960s, the dramatic shadows and shading of the comic noir genre, the simple but effective shading techniques of the comix aesthetic, the playful environments of arcade style video games and the quirky exaggerated forms of 90s cartoons.

High Art was created by Dona Frank and The Natural Cannabis Company in 2014 as a crowdsourcing solution to packaging design. From its humble beginnings, High Art has developed into an internationally-known art competition with thousands of entries annually from 100+ countries all over the world.
Each year professional and amateur artists create themed works through a variety of mediums to compete for $50,000 in prize money and to see their work featured on packaging, social media, at the High Art gallery in Santa Rosa, CA and displayed at prestigious art events, in the United States and abroad.
Stay tuned for more information on upcoming High Art events and High Art 2021!
