I’m a live painter, I perform and create in the moment nothing planned or scripted I create abstract, imagined dreamscapes other worldly, esoteric liminal realities. I encode my own personal ethos and ideals of joy and optimism, hoping the observer has an expanded perspective of what is, and possible. I paint a lot of mythical creatures & characters and yet in a sci-fi ancient future realm,… some where just beyond the here and now. A parallel space just beyond most of our comprehension.
Where do you find inspiration?Nature, dreams, my daily life living in the mundane and yet the adventures of my travels, as a painter and musician I pull ideas from my daydream and the cosmic joke of life, being to serious and rigid in our routine. Goal is to break up time and space, question reality and our own relationship to life and how we operate in this world. I paint a lot outside and do a lot of smaller donation based art, Iv given hundreds of paintings out for free and see my creations to be spread out to the world.
What would you do with $25,000?I have been living in Guatemala before Covid, and I have a project I work with my local friends n family down there, goal would be to use the funding to activate a project here US side of the border to use the investment to generate awareness and amplify the energy and attention, I would use it to host events with a fundraiser to get more support and funding for the project there as it’s a collective place for locals. Not saying I wouldn’t use the funds my self. Just focusing on projects bigger
