Oil painter Rob Kaz draws on his background in animation and video games to tell stories on canvas using expressive light and color. With each painting, Rob’s goal is to evoke emotion, inspire smiles and leave the viewer longing to relive that moment again and again.

Whether it’s a fond memory of time spent at Magic Kingdom park in the rain, a childhood recollection of Tinker Bell that longs for revival, or the sheer and simple happiness we have all come to know by being Disney fans, Rob paints those experiences because they are, in fact, his own, composed based on the passion that comes from being a Disney fan himself.
