A bit about me as an artist and customizer...
The Traditional Artist...
As an emerging artist based in Toronto, my work delves into the realms of Object Head and Surrealism art, utilizing both acrylic paint and textured vinyl as my primary mediums. Each of my pieces is a visual narrative, a story told through the lens of TV heads, a recurring theme that symbolizes emotions, feelings, and personal experiences.
​
In exploring Object Head art, I am fascinated by the idea of transforming ordinary objects into anthropomorphic figures, breathing life and emotion into them. The TV head, in particular, holds a special allure for me. It represents not just a source of entertainment or information but a vessel for the projection of our innermost thoughts and emotions.
​
Surrealism, with its emphasis on tapping into the unconscious mind, provides a perfect platform for me to explore the depths of human experience. Through my art, I seek to challenge the boundaries of reality, inviting viewers to question the nature of existence and the meaning behind our everyday encounters.
​
Acrylic paint and textured vinyl are my chosen mediums for their versatility and ability to create depth and texture in my work. Acrylic paint allows me to create vibrant colors and bold contrasts, while textured vinyl adds an extra layer of dimensionality. Each brushstroke and application of vinyl is deliberate, each color choice intentional, as I strive to evoke a visceral response from the viewer.
​
My art is deeply influenced by everyday interactions, from fleeting moments of connection to more profound experiences that shape our worldview. I draw inspiration from pop culture, incorporating elements that resonate with viewers and invite them to reflect on their own experiences.
​
At the core of my work is a desire to provoke thought and introspection. I want viewers to engage with my art on a personal level, to see themselves reflected in the emotions and experiences depicted in each piece. Through this process, I hope to create a dialogue about the ways in which we perceive and interact with the world around us.
The Customizer...
As a customizer who transforms shoes, clothing, and accessories into wearable art, I aim to turn each person into a walking gallery. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, I use paint and other materials to create unique and expressive designs that reflect the individuality of the wearer.
​
Each piece I create is a collaboration between myself and the wearer, with their personality and style influencing the final design. I believe that fashion should be fun and exciting, and I strive to create pieces that bring joy and inspiration to those who wear them.
​
Whether it's a pair of sneakers featuring a favorite movie or TV show, a jacket adorned with iconic characters, or a bag inspired by a beloved video game, my goal is to create wearable art that sparks conversation and makes a statement.
​
I believe that everyone deserves to feel like a work of art, and I hope that my custom creations help each person I work with feel confident, unique, and ready to take on the world.
