Chris DeRubeis

Chris DeRubeis is an award-winning artist and the visionary behind Abstract Sensualism®—a groundbreaking genre that fuses sculpture, painting, and light. Working exclusively on aluminum, DeRubeis uses grinders, chemicals, and layered pigments to create luminous, kinetic artworks that seem to move and breathe.

Born in 1978, DeRubeis began experimenting with airbrushes and custom motorcycles before discovering his signature technique while stripping paint from a Harley gas tank. That moment ignited a journey that would lead to international acclaim, including the MUSE Award for “New Movement” at the Fine Art Awards in Las Vegas.

His work is now showcased in top galleries worldwide, known for its celestial color, flowing forms, and unique ability to manipulate light. Rarely framed and never conventional, each piece challenges viewers to feel the art as much as see it.

Beyond the studio, DeRubeis is a devoted father, Lakers fan, and lover of good food and wine—always exploring creativity in all its forms.
