MINNA STRAUS ART

selfie

Passionate Artist

Based in Columbus, Georgia, I work across various media, with a focus on acrylic and oil. My art is a reflection of the world around me - people, nature, and everyday moments. Drawing inspiration from dreams, I weave symbolism into my pieces to create depth and intrigue. Bringing stories and concepts to life through my art is my true passion.

i used a very tiny brush and no refrence photo for this piece bc i really enjoy a challenge… #acrylic

“moonknight” inspired by the disney show “moonknight” the main character , Marc Spector, has DID—something i was previously diagnosed with by a crazy lady but after many testings and brain scans etc, it just turned out to be ptsd and BD. However, i still resonate with the characters very much and thats a big reason why i love this show. So, i felt the need to paint Marc forming into moonknight

Hi, if you’re new here, i’m Minna — I paint bold, surreal worlds where playful meets unsettling!!

I’m drawn to electric color, strange characters, nostalgic references, and imagery that feels both soft and slightly dangerous. Skeletons, distorted figures, vintage objects, cartoon energy — I like taking familiar things and pushing them somewhere unexpected.

My style is intuitive and expressive: visible brushstrokes, saturated palettes, graphic shapes, and dreamlike compositions. I’m obsessed with contrast — sweetness vs. darkness, humor vs. tension, innocence vs. distortion.

I create what feels honest, even if it’s weird.
If it makes you pause, question, or feel something a little off — it’s doing its job.

Thank you for joining me through this evolving journey that i started only 2 years ago after entering sobriety. I couldn’t do it without you and especially God ❤︎

happy friday the 13th. did this one alla prima. most of my art is done in one sitting and if it’s not i usually cover it up and start a new one and do it all over again in one sitting. it just be like that.
