WHO I AM? ​

My name is Ethan Johnson, and I’m an internationally recognized acrylic painter and visual designer. I’m an Atlanta-based artist with roots in Savannah. I graduated from Georgia State University, studying Studio Arts. My name means “strong” in Hebrew.

I’ve been a creative all my life.

WHAT DOES MY WORK MEAN TO ME?

Each design captures subjects in a godly light, putting their identities and the environment that molded them on a pedestal. Visualizing pillars of strength that reflect my audience validates their identity while giving them a visual goal for their “highest self”. The most confident and naturally glowing version of themself.

WHAT FEELING LINGERS WITH AUDIENCES

AFTER THEY VIEW YOUR WORK?

Aspiration to embody the same level of confidence and immortality that is captured in my work. My work centers on the subject as their most confident and elevated self. My audience should see parts of themselves reflected in these timeless, statuesque figures to offer strength to their own identity.

Human divinity is our mission

Ethan Notta LLC crafts designs that elevate the significance of identity and presence through the lens of black Americans.

 

Each piece is layered with cultural reference, symbolism, and lived context—distilling the complexity of identity into a visual language that feels both grounded and deliberate.

 

This work centers the cultural foundations that shape how identity is formed and carried, informed by a history that continues to define the present.

 

Moody and earthy colors form a calm atmosphere around our statuesque subjects to highlight their strength. This idealization brings the audience’s attention to the history, style, and culture that formed the basis of their sense of self.

The value we provide

83% of buyer’s agents say staging helps clients better visualize a space as their future home — the same principle applies to intentional art placement.

 

The global art market reached $59.6 billion in 2025, reflecting a growing demand for curated, high-impact visual work in modern spaces. Original artwork is a lasting investment— rich in narrative and presence.

 

Our museum quality reproductions deliver that same visual impact at a scale tailored to your space. Our original acrylic paintings merge Renaissance technique, editorial design, and Afro Dandyism—creating bold, culturally grounded pieces that define a space rather than simply decorate it.
