Painting
I create mixed media on canvas or birch wood. I use a mix of acrylic , spray paint , oil , resins , plaster … Truly whatever I can get my hands on and that feels organic for the piece . My inspirations are widely ranged but a common thread of heroes or villains (depending on my mood !) seem to pop up more often than not. I’ve always found manga comics fascinating and have been drawn to the Japanese arts. The Disney culture, the DC verse and the Marvel world are infinite sources of inspiration as well .. But don’t ask DC vs Marvel ? I just couldn’t tell you ! Music is my other passion. I love collaborative events that intertwine music and the arts. On a personal side note, more recently I have drawn from my dear friend’s experience which has touched me immensely . He is a young man facing and beating cancer’s ass. Whether I can help by incorporating the “F*ck cancer” in my paintings or donating to research foundations; i feel compelled to connect to that aspect of my life through my art.
