Florian Reid is a distinguished artist recognized for their exceptional mixed media creations, often juxtaposed with significant themes surrounding mental health. Employing a distinct surrealistic style, Reid skillfully integrates a diverse array of techniques—including watercolor, photography, acrylic, collage, poetry, ceramics, welding, digital media, and cosplay—into compositions that articulate abstract emotions with profound concepts. 

With over a decade of experience in fine art photography, Reid has specialized in capturing weddings, award-winning births, and luxurious newborn portraits, garnering acclaim in various publications since the mid-2010s. Following the attainment of certifications in doula and life coaching, Reid broadened their artistic perspective to incorporate themes of healing and empowerment.

In collaboration with fellow artist Rudyard, Reid has successfully produced award-winning murals and entrepreneurial ventures throughout San Diego. Their mural for the Somalian Micro-Community was honored with the Design Planning Award from San Diego County in 2019, exemplifying their commitment to community engagement through art.

Recent projects, include the 'Cantina Couple' mural in Coronado, California, featured in a prominent televised campaign. Looking ahead, Reid and Rudyard are actively seeking gallery opportunities to showcase their works. Previous exhibitions include displays at Haven Art and La Bodega Gallery. Furthermore, they are in the process of designing an innovative art venue that aims to merge graffiti history with mental health retreats for adults.

Florian Reid’s artistic contributions not only captivate the viewer's attention but also invite profound engagement with emotional narratives embedded within their work, establishing them as a vital voice in contemporary art.
