Patrick Guyton, born in 1964 in Pennsylvania, is an innovative American artist known for fusing his diverse artistic background with ancient techniques. Inspired by his artist parents, Guyton began his journey in art at a young age and earned an Associate’s Degree in Visual Communications from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh in 1984.
Since moving to Southern California in 1987, he has worked in various fields, including airbrush illustration, murals, and signage. A pivotal moment in his career came in 1997 when he joined Linda Jones Enterprises/Warner Bros. as a background painter under the legendary Chuck Jones, where he studied with Maurice Noble. His notable work includes the background for the “What’s Opera, Doc?” animation cel, later inducted into the National Film Registry.
Guyton’s art is inspired by masters like Michelangelo and Klimt, and he is known for his acclaimed “Moments in Time” series, which combines 14th-century Japanese leafing and 17th-century Flemish glazing techniques. Discovered by art publisher David Smith in 2008, Guyton has since become one of the most influential artists of the 21st century, integrating precious metals into his work and evoking emotion and atmosphere through his unique vision.
