About

Cedric Kraynak is an artist and designer with a passion for exploring the intersection of nature and technology. Growing up among the forested mountains and rugged coastlines of the Pacific Northwest, he developed a deep appreciation for the natural world. However, as technology plays a central role in his creative process, it also creates a sense of detachment from nature. Seeking harmony between these two influences, Cedric draws inspiration from the outdoors, incorporating organic shapes, earth-tone colors, and flora and fauna imagery into his work. Through this approach, he strives to bridge the gap between artistic expression and the natural world, finding contentment within both.

Outside his practice, Cedric loves progressing his skills in rock climbing, foraging for mushrooms, and wandering through the forests of the PNW.
