DION BURK

Mexico, Quintana Roo
this is my birthplace in the year
1996.
I grew up half in the jungle on the Caribbean coast of Playa del Carmen until I was 5 years old. The diversity of colors in Mexico wich you can see are reflecting today into my live as an artist.

Even as a child I was inspired by the power of the nature and the mystic lights of the „cenotes“ where my parents brought me a lot.
The Mayan people call this places „holy source“

In Switzerland/Zug I had visited school and made an apprenticeship in an aquarium store as a salesman.

Painting on canvas is for me every time a new experience and has a healing effect to me, first it was with acrylic, airbrush and gouache colors.

In the Academia de arte in Playa del Carmen I learned from an artist /Cristina Barragan how to work with the oil color paint and combine techniques together.

Immediately it became my passion.
