Cal Akara (b. 1991, Bradford, UK) is a contemporary artist living and working nomadically. He travels the world creating paintings that inquire into the nature of consciousness and its relationship with the material realm.

With a body of work comprising of murals and often multi-layered linen canvases, his signature ‘abstract windows’ invite the viewer into a temporary world, momentarily transcending the negative space of the surface. In the studio, Cals practice has a strong relationship with the inner sciences, exploring the connection between our internal and external landscapes, using abstract mark-making to arrange inspiration from dreams, visions, locations and life experiences into saturated surreal montages.

Currently, he represents himself independently, though has exhibited at international art fairs in Singapore, New York & London, as well as self produced solo shows in the United Kingdom. His mural work has been embraced by various diverse communities as he continue to share his distinctive, vibrant painting style worldwide.
