"No other artist in the world paints like Stefan Duncan. Each painting consists of thousands of strokes of unblended color. Although he has been recognized around the world as America's Van Gogh, Stefan has created his own unique voice with Squigglism that  may define him as one of the greatest artists of our generation. With his paintings he unveils the inner woven connection of all that exists that is a living, spiritual essence. His art transcends borders, races, and religions that inspires peace, love, and hope with one another. All life and living nature is sacred.
