Son of a Gun Painting

ARTIST STATEMENT My artistic journey is a dynamic exploration of the convergence between traditional and contemporary techniques, culminating in a visual narrative that dances between the ethereal/surreal and the tangible. Through the interplay of transparent paints on stainless steel, I bring to life a holographic seascape that embodies both movement and stillness. This 2D surface becomes a canvas for my artistic expression, a space where the ocean's rhythmic ebb and flow are preserved in a mesmerizing, everlasting dance. In the realm of my creative process, I wield airbrushes and spray paints as instruments of magic, transcending the limitations of the medium to unveil the boundless potential of stainless steel. With each stroke and spray, I capture the fleeting whispers of water in motion, granting the viewer an ever-shifting experience that transcends time and reality. My process involves an intricate balance between control and spontaneity, mirroring the unpredictable beauty of the Endless seascape itself. Beyond the surface, I delve into the realms of dreams and subconscious landscapes. With oil/acrylics and surreal charcoal drawings, I unveil the depths of the human psyche, manifesting dreams and fleeting thoughts onto the canvas. These explorations of the mind evoke emotions that bridge the gap between the conscious and the unseen, inviting contemplation and connection. More recently, I have fused the intricate precision of photorealism with the vibrant spontaneity of graffiti, drawing inspiration from the works of artists like Marco Battaglini. This amalgamation of styles serves as a testament to the rich tapestry of human expression, where the refined meets the raw, and where the boundaries of artistic conventions are playfully blurred. Through my art, I invite viewers to step into a world where the tangible and the ephemeral coexist harmoniously. With each stroke, spray, and brush, I aim to evoke emotions, provoke thoughts, and ignite a dialogue between the observer and the observed. My work is a symphony of mediums, techniques, and concepts, a manifestation of the intricate dance between the seen and the unseen, the known and the dreamt. Embark on this journey as we navigate through the interplay of holographic textures, colors, and visions. Allow my holographic seascape and surreal dreamscapes to serve as mirrors to your own subconscious, extending an invitation to explore the uncharted waters of your imagination.
