Murtoli Sea Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

My journey as an artist has been a winding path through various passions and careers. Initially excelling in art during my school years, I ultimately chose to pursue careers in luxury management, psychology, and travel. However, a tragic life event became a catalyst for me to return to my true calling—art. Now, I am creating art that embodies the essence of my diverse experiences and inspirations. My work is deeply influenced by music, travel, women, haute couture/fashion, and the abstract global concepts of beauty. These elements permeate my creative process, allowing me to explore a multitude of mediums including photography, digital art, mixed media, painting, and resin art. While my styles are varied and difficult to categorize, surrealism often plays a significant role in my creations. The themes of serenity, growth, pain, the divine feminine, and the natural beauty of Mother Earth and celestial bodies are central to my work. I strive to convey these concepts through my art, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the intricate details. My goal is for my art to inspire a slower, more hedonistic approach to life, where beauty is appreciated in its purest form. For a long time, the diversity of my work prevented me from sharing it publicly. I felt that without a singular, identifiable aesthetic, I wasn’t a "real" artist. However, I have come to embrace the multifaceted nature of my creativity. Art, to me, is about honesty and rejecting labels and categories that constrain my flow. If you read this far, that makes you cool. Thank you for being cool.
