Octopus pain. (Octopus collection) Rey Teysse Painting

Dreaming of an artist's life since childhood, my journey has been an exploration of the unseen wonders of art. The ability to create and portray the intangible has always drawn me in, and my love for lines—diverse, delicate, and bold—shapes the core of my artistic language. At the age of 15, I delved into the world of tattoo artistry, apprenticing under seasoned masters. Now, well into my artistic career, art transcends the realm of mere occupation or pastime—it is my essence. Mastering the finesse of line work, I seamlessly traverse between tattooing and canvas, refining my skills to a pinnacle. The marine world, with its captivating mysteries, holds a special place in my heart, especially the enigmatic octopus. On canvas, I use diverse lines to capture the fluidity and weightlessness of elements, bringing these creatures to life. In my artistic expression, I find joy in infusing meaning through simplicity—shapes like squares and circles become vessels for profound narratives. The inclusion some of animal elements, particularly tentacles, complements and enriches these narratives. Often, we admire the grandeur of animals, humans, machinery, and architecture, overlooking the beauty nestled in the intricacies of the minutiae. Each detail, individually contemplated, reveals its unique and captivating beauty.
