An AO Original – For the Fans, Collectors and Families
Commissions by AO
One of KC’s premier sports painters, Anthony “AO” Oropeza, is known by thousands for capturing the athleticism, grittiness and beauty of his athletic subjects. For over a decade, one of AO’s goals has always been to capture an essence of athletic beauty in every piece, so the viewer feels the drama, emotion and the artistry of the moment.
With every piece you will see multiple levels of artistic work, the in-the-game moment of the player, the use of graphics to enhance the layout and a unique use of background abstract art, all adding up to dynamic display of artistic creativity.
Not Just a Sports Painter:
AO has a painting resume with a wide range of different subjects.
His list of subjects include:
- Athletes – Pro athletes, College athletes, High School athletes
- Automobiles & Trains
