“My art style is surrealism, and I am very influenced by Rene Magritte and digital graphic designer storm Thorgerson.
My journey into digital art started in 2005. I was just learning the basics of photoshop and 3d modeling.
Over the months, I gained more experience, and my artwork was getting good publicity through art websites that had come across my work.
I was invited to give interviews in art magazines; A book cover publishing group was interested in my artistic style. I started creating a book cover for many influential authors. I have designed book cover art for many famous authors.
I created art, but I never had a subject or style of art that I wanted to be known for until I came across two surreal artists. Rene Magritte and Storm Thorgerson.
Rene Magritte was a Belgian surreal artist whose art I really admired. He created scenes of everyday life with surrealism as his art medium.
Storm Thorgerson was a graphic designer best well known for creating the art for Pink Floyd album covers.
After being familiar with these two artists’ work, I understood the direction I wanted to go and the art I wanted to create”.
