Ray Khalife

San Diego, California

Ray Khalife uses acrylic and oil paints to create landscapes, abstracts and symbolic art.

Art is what gets Ray up in the morning.

Ray has been painting every day since 1973. With an extensive portfolio of over 1,000 pieces that can be found hanging in homes and galleries all over the world, he specializes in landscape, abstract, and symbolism art. Deep dedication is at the root of Ray’s work. Making art is as much part of his existence as thinking or breathing. He sees art all around him, in life’s most extraordinary moments and the entirely mundane. Every walk in nature, car ride, or television commercial sparks something in him. Ray is on an eternal quest to capture the often overlooked beauty of daily life through art.

Through years of experience working with clients, Ray has refined his special ability to bring their artistic visions to life. Inspired by Pierre Bonnard, George Braque, Friedrich Nietzsche, Fairouz, Kenny Rogers, and Dalida, Ray pulls from his own intuition and art knowledge to create a painting that will be cherished for years to come.
