Meet the Artist
Gabriel Rhed Osea Longid
At just 13 years old, this young artist is crafting a world full of color, character, and imagination. As a neurodivergent individual, Gabriel experiences life with remarkable sensitivity and creativity—turning the things he loves into expressive works of art. He’s especially drawn to vibrant colors and animals, often giving them a playful human twist. Whether his subjects walk, swim, or roar, they fill his canvases with joy, personality, and faces that reveal a range of sentiments—each animal telling its own story.
For Gabriel, art is more than a hobby; it’s a safe place where he can be himself, without caring how his pieces look or worrying about anyone’s judgment. Creating art is his way to express his world, and every piece—no matter how simple or abstract—is always celebrated, never judged. He does art not to conform, but to share his unique perspective, and this freedom makes his creations truly one-of-a-kind.
Gab never missed a spot—if there was a corner he could reach, it got painted.
Floors, walls, even himself! Here he is soaking in the tub after turning the house into his own personal canvas.
Gab proved that with a little imagination, even empty milk boxes can roar to life.
One carton at a time, he’s turned recycling into an art form—so much so that the family started buying milk and juice just for the boxes!
Gab loves traveling so his travel calendar is fully booked until 2040! He’s already got a list of places to conquer, creatures to befriend, and desserts to try in every time zone. Today: falcon whisperer in the desert. Tomorrow: who knows—maybe penguin diplomat in Antarctica!
