Guan Yin & the Dragon Painting

Angel is a professional artist of over 10 years based in London and has exhibited in many prestigious art fairs and events in London and Miami, building upon his global collector base. For Angel, nothing provokes artistic sensibility like grief, many of us are blind to the realities of loss and mourning until we're confronted with loss head-on. For centuries, artists have turned to their work to address feelings of anger, confusion, fear, sadness, hope and love. While no painting, photograph or object can ever mend the holes that materialise in our hearts, Angel found art to address the loss of his daughter and to begin his healing process. When Angel creates, he connects and get lost in his work, and although the presence of loss still haunts him, he is always focused on growth, both as an artist and a person. Angels work reflects the trajectory from dark to light, and is drawn to the play on darkness behind whatever he is working on by understanding and embracing the beauty on either side. Through the use of symbolism and pop culture references, Angel primarily creates mixed media pieces on upcycled materials using various painting methods, including traditional oil painting, sublimation pigment transfer and collage.
