New work in progress. I feel like it's time to expand my subject matter, now that I feel comfortable with the visual style I've been building. There are still distances to go within the limitations I drew to myself. Meaning, environments, more characters, textures...

Art process: Paranod Android 35x50 cm Oil on canvas panel I'm very happy how this character, especially his face, turned out vs. how unsure I was while painting it. He's such a 90's boy, just like me I guess. At the end of the day, we're all trapped in our youth in some way. #art #oilpainting

"Paranoid Android" 35x50 cm Oil on canvas panel An homage to Radiohead and their magnum opus. I don't know the name of my paintings until I get close to finishing them. The small detail that I use to attach its meaning reveals itself to me. Forms summon their meaning, instead of vice versa

New artworks in progress After spending 20 years in digital art and animation, it feels good to be able to concentrate on just art. No software bugs, no crashes, no subscriptions, no plugins...

"Heart Shaped Box" 90x70cm Oil on canvas My new painting is yet another attempt on pushing forms while trying to contain them at the same time. Something like what life does to a human. "A marriage is the death of the ego, a child is the death of the self..." - Joseph Campbell #art #oilpainting

"My Hands Are Tied, Baby" 70x100cm Oil on canvas My new painting is a stepping stone in search of a new style. "My Hands Are Tied, Baby" is a dilemma of commitment. A triangle of love between me, art and affection. Stuck in the middle of humane expectations and sly temptation of my imagination.

Full process of my first painting from "Ramba Tumbalip" collection: Ramba at the Cemetery Painting: 50x35cm Oil on canvas panel Drawing: 31x23cm Ink on paper "Monsters like Ramba don't like the full moon, nor do they talk to the dead."

"Ramba at the Cemetery" 50x35cm Oil on canvas panel Ramba Tumbalip is the protagonist of the first song I've written back in 2011. "Monsters like Ramba don't like the full moon, nor do they talk to the dead."

My "Beautiful Freaks" collection (Commissioned by JRNY Gallery in Las Vegas) I wanted to paint some pieces that could not be achieved by AI image generators in 2022. Each piece is a mixture of scanned sketches, digital painting, 3D and pixel art.
