Noel Cruz, a Filipino-American artist repaints mass produced dolls. He saw the dolls as a canvas when his wife started collecting dolls. He takes the mass produced dolls, wash off the original paint, apply his own intricacies, and turns them into his one of a kind master piece! Each doll would take 40 hours in total. His dolls are so life like, his work is highly regarded among collectors and artists alike.Noel attempts to raise the bar and bring a fresh take to the common mass produced doll with every face he paints.
What defines Noel’s style of repaint is his focus in achieving a sense of both aesthetics and likeness.

All his dolls now belong to the personal collections of their proud owners.
