Doras (b. 1990) is a visual artist based in Montréal, Canada. He studied illustration at OCAD University (2012) in Toronto and has spent the past decade working as an artist and director in editorial, film, advertising, publishing, and public art. As a street artist, Doras creates murals and installations that draw on his illustration background, with a strong emphasis on narrative and color relationships.

His work often blends historical ornamentation and iconography with the visual language of contemporary fantasy. In recent years, Doras has become increasingly focused on the emotional intersection of humanity, technology, and mythology. This shift in his practice has led him to explore how co-creation and storytelling can help us navigate our hopes and fears for the future.

Doras’ work can be found across Canada and internationally, both in the urban landscape and in traditional galleries. He has been published in several anthologies alongside the most renowned contemporary illustrators and street artists.
