What is your background and how did you start your journey in the art world?
“I first started getting into automotive art when I saw my older brother create an art piece on a Ferrari and a Nissan Skyline in high school. He really motivated me in getting into automotive art back when I made my first art piece in 2017. Ever since then, he has always given me tips and ideas.”
What inspires you most?
“What inspires me would be cars and seeing artwork based on supercars. Since a young age, I have been around cars, and watching my older brother play the popular game Need For Speed really made me fall in love with cars. This created a desire within me to become an artist and base my artwork around cars, as that is my happy place.”
“I began publishing my art on Deviantart and Artstation in 2017, and ever since then my fan base has been growing. This led to me being approached by supercar dealerships, and soon after, my artwork could be seen published on their stories on social media, such as Instagram.”
What themes do you pursue? Is there an underlying message in your work?
“The main theme I pursue is automotive art, that would be a perfect bedroom or desktop wallpaper. I would say the underlying message in my work is inspiration – whenever I see my dream car wallpaper, I feel inspired to work hard and own it one day. So I tend to put that message in all my art pieces, encouraging the people who view it to feel that same inspiration.”
How would you describe your work?
“I would describe my work as unique and creative, with the ability to create the perfect image using a mixture of cars and cinema. Whenever my friends or viewers look at my art, they always tell me that it reminds them of a car advertisement on a billboard. One dream of mine would be to see my artwork used on billboards or displayed at car dealerships and magazines.”
Which artists influence you most?
“I am influenced by many artists that base their work on cars. Seeing their take on automotive art pieces and their approach to it, as they play around with cars and backgrounds, makes me motivated and inspired to make my own unique art.”
What is your creative process like?
"My creative process involves first feeling inspiration from other artist’s take on an automotive piece. I tend to play around with customization of the cars when trying to create an art piece. I mainly experiment with the cars colors, and different types of options, when trying to create effects before finalizing the piece.”
What is an artist’s role in society and how do you see that evolving?
“The way I look at an artist’s role in society is to create an art piece that makes people go ‘wow’. It is also important that artists put out good vibes with their art, while inspiring young, upcoming future talents. I would see the art industry constantly improving, as many young artists are now rising on social media platforms, which is a very good sign.”
Have you had any noteworthy exhibitions you'd like to share?
“The most notable project I have worked on, was creating album covers for the EDM artist Memphis. The albums are called ‘Angel Eyes’ and ‘Galaxies’. We are currently working on another major project which I will play a part in.”
