Abstract Skuhlflower Painting

I’m Skuhlz, a visual artist based in Aurora, Colorado, working across painting, animation, and 3D modeling. My work explores the balance between transformation, hope, and the hypnotic power of visual patterns. Through vivid imagination and experimentation, I craft unique visual stories designed to inspire new perspectives in those who view them. Skuhlflowerz: One of my signature series, Skuhlflowerz, reimagines the life cycle of hope through a fusion of nature and surrealism. Skuhlflowerz are symbolic flowers with flaming skulls as blooms, representing how lost dreams transform into new hopes. The evolution of these flowers, from fiery skulls to winged creatures, embodies the human experience of renewal, offering viewers a unique, otherworldly perspective on life and growth. Ambigram Meow: Ambigram Meow emerged from my fascination with graffiti and lettering. In this series, I use stylized letters to create a visual palindrome, where the word "meow" can be flipped and still read the same. Through playful and innovative design, the ambigram represents both the flexibility of form and the hidden layers of meaning within even the simplest shapes. This exploration also led to my signature Skuhlz ambigram, which now appears on all my works. State of Mind: Inspired by a mesmerizing t-shirt design I owned as a teenager, the State of Mind series is an exploration of how colors and patterns can influence perception. By combining vibrant hues and complex patterns, I aim to create pieces that draw the viewer in, holding their gaze in a kind of visual hypnosis. This series challenges the boundaries between art and optical illusion, making each piece an interactive experience.
