Damian Smith

A life long fascination with the human psyche has held me in the gravitational pull of themes of identity, the essence of emotion and the impact of individual in the world. My recent art work centres around visual reflections of my thoughts and feelings, exploring the broad spectrum of emotion through surreal figurative works. Most often the art is depicted through a vision themed by dreamscapes and figures referenced half in our reality and half in fantasy. Through these works I aim to explore the relationship between mortality and spirituality, in themes of identity, nature and beauty.

Bachelor of Fine Arts majoring in Visual Art, Queensland College of Art, Griffith University, Gratuated 2003.
