Artwork Description

Day of the Dead art is a vibrant and colorful form of folk art that is closely associated with the holiday. This art can take many forms, including paintings, sculptures, masks, and altars. The art often features skeletons, skulls, and other symbols of death, but it is not meant to be morbid or scary. Instead, it is a celebration of life and a way to connect with those who have passed on.

Artist Bio

I make surrealist works that pull the human figure through myth, anatomy, and dream. Genesis and creation, flesh formed from formless matter, the body as both subject and symbol — these are the threads I keep returning to, filtered through Greek and biblical myth and the visual grammar of Dalí, Magritte and the Symbolists.
My recent series treat the body as porcelain: the Delft Blue Anatomical works fuse the cobalt-and-white elegance of 17th-century Dutch Delftware with anatomical precision, a deliberate tension between fragility and structure. Other series — Soulscape, Ocean Colossus, Ex Nihilo — move the same preoccupations into landscapes of the mind, where the vastness of the ocean meets the confines of the skull.
I work primarily in digital media, printed on wrap-around canvas, in strictly limited editions. Every piece is a visual narrative — a fleeting moment or an elusive emotion, held still. Based in Australia. Currently accepting commissions.
