ARTIST BIO

I have been drawing since a very young age. At the age of 16, I moved back to Arizona and attended Desert Mountain High School where I took art classes and started painting in various forms including portraits, landscapes and cubism. After graduating from Desert Mountain, I traveled to Italy and was amazed by the renaissance and modern art that I discovered. This experience reaffirmed that painting was definitely my passion. Upon my return, I continued to study art at Scottsdale Community College and ASU.

​

My biggest inspirations are Salvador Dali, Cezanne, Marcel Duchamp, Jose Clemente Orozco and Picasso. I lived in Ogden, Utah where I participated in various art events and festivals and was a member of the Ogden Arts Community.

​

Upon my return to Arizona in 2014, I regularly participate throughout the valley of the sun doing art exhibit 'Pop Ups'. In 2019 I had my first solo exhibition in Phoenix called "Welcome to the Neocubisurrealism Dream" were over 100 of his original paintings were exhibited. 

​

My style is “Neocubisurrealism” or a new form of expressing reality combining cubism and surrealism with a nice harmony of vibrant vivid color. Inspired by my dreams, my life and my love muse Mayume.
