About me
My passion for art was sparked early, rooted in solitude and a need to express what I couldn’t say. As a kid, I was drawn to the mythic, the strange, the unspoken forces beneath the surface of things. That obsession never left. Over time, my journey—through life, family, failure, and rediscovery—shaped how I approach the canvas. I don’t chase trends or aesthetics. I chase atmosphere. I’m drawn to moments that feel suspended in time, filled with tension, silence, and something unresolved. My influences—Frazetta, Vallejo, Royo—taught me the power of the human form and the weight of fantasy when it’s grounded in emotional truth. My style is where realism meets myth, where mood eclipses motion, and every brushstroke serves the story beneath the surface.
One piece that embodies my artistic vision is my reimagining of the Death Dealer. Inspired by Frazetta but filtered through my own lens, it’s a study in menace and myth—armor soaked in shadow, a warrior frozen at the edge of violence. I created it in just over four hours, pushing for clarity and impact without overworking the image. It’s not just a tribute—it’s a declaration. The mood is heavy, the silence loud. You feel the weight of history in the figure, but you don’t know what comes next. That uncertainty, that emotional tension—that’s what I aim for in all my work. It’s not just about the figure. It’s about what the figure won’t say.
I want viewers to feel like they’ve stepped into a moment that’s already in motion—something they weren’t supposed to see. A still frame heavy with tension, mood, and unanswered questions. I’m not interested in pretty pictures. I want to stir something deeper—disquiet, awe, recognition. My hope is that the work lingers, not because it explains itself, but because it doesn’t. It haunts, it pulls, it makes you wonder what happened before and what’s coming next. That space between is where the story lives.
I want to keep pushing toward greater depth—technically, emotionally, and narratively. The goal isn’t just to improve the craft, but to make work that feels inevitable, like it had to exist. I see my art evolving into something even more cinematic—larger in scale, richer in storytelling, and more immersive. I want to explore darker corners, sharper contrasts, and build entire worlds from silence and shadow. Eventually, I’d like to see my work used in books, film, or game design—any medium where story and image collide. But above all, I want each piece to carry weight—to stop someone in their tracks and make them feel something they didn’t expect.
Realism fused with mood, mystery, and psychological weight
My work reimagines fantasy through a modern, cinematic lens. Every piece is built to linger, to haunt, and to pull you into the silence between moments. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States, I am dedicated to providing realism fused with mood, mystery, and psychological weight.
