De La Soul Child born Christopher Moises Torres is an internationally recognized poetic expressionist artist, poet. Having his first international show displaying his piece, 'Split Personalties, 18W x 14L in. canvas, 2021,' by Imitate Modern Art Gallery in London, displayed at Bagatelle House London in 2022. Art has been his access to self-healing by using art as a meditative therapy outlet to deal with his current and past experiences that affected him mentally, whether positive or negative while turning a negative experience into a positive, always. Mental agony is just a stepping stone for me as an artist to continue to create as a therapy form, which in return creates works of art that mean more than a piece of artwork. It truly is a piece of my soul! In a world where everyone has their own mental health obstacles, he has been able to channel his own mental health obstacles through his work of art. “My Art is described as a poetic expression that displays genuine emotions from negative to positive, positive to negative, dark to light, and light to dark. My art is how my mind functions, it’s complex in thought. Knowing individuals find meaning in my complexity comforts me as an artist and human. I will continue to shift the narrative through my art that mental health is not a clutch, it’s our access to feel & express genuinely.” –Christopher Moises Torres AKA De La Soul Child
