About Doug Rizio

Doug Rizio is a graphic designer and web designer, but also an artist. He has his BA in Visual Arts from Rutgers University. His works have a mythical but technical aspect to them. He combines fantasy with virtuality, and is a true sight to marvel at. Colors are very vibrant, and the bright colors clash with the darker colors to make them pop out. Lighting affects the view of the painting how you perceive them. He has also curated other exhibitions.
