I have been practicing my craft as a graphic designer, illustrator and artist for over 30 years. My work as a designer and illustrator have garnered numerous local and national awards, my projects have been featured in various publications.
Painting, drawing and creating has always been a strong part of my life. I notice things; the way people walk, their attire, how they stand, talk laugh and smile that enable them to stand out from the crowd. That observation plays a large role in my fine art work. I work at appreciating people’s various backgrounds, interests and diversity of paths we all take; hence the hats. We all wear many hats in life; the ones we like to wear, the ones we choose to wear and the ones we have to wear… Life.
Technique: After years of experimenting with various styles, techniques and mediums in all forms of design and art, I stumbled on something that intrigued me. A mistake, an accident, a mess that turned into something beautiful to me. That was the discovery of the effect that solvent chemicals have on inks and dyes. It took me years, and lots of failures, to teach myself how to control the chaos from melting ink with various solvents on different substrates into an interesting vibrant piece of art.
Thank you for observing with me, Dino
