Ray's Place Collage

Anil Mistry is a mixed media artist based in Berkhamsted, UK. He combines his own photography, acrylic pints, spray paints, stencilled patterns, vintage graph papers and screen printing, to create visually striking mixed media art. Following a childhood interest in art and design, Anil began to experiment in his late teens with typography, graphic design and photography, making gig flyers by layering imagery using photocopiers, scissors and glue. Later, software such as Photoshop and Illustrator became his tools of choice for compositions, starting a commercial career in digital graphic design. With the urge to create physical art again, he has spent the last decade defining an aesthetic and honing his skills to become an accomplished contemporary artist. Rich in detail, texture and depth, Anil’s art features stylistically unusual, misfit and often overlooked elements from cityscapes, environments and everyday objects, that are merged to create beautiful new landscapes. The now 'trademark', oversized palm trees add a Californian / Miami warmth and vibe to all his artworks that evoke a sense of escapism and joy to the viewer.
