Artwork Details

I paint the many species of endangered wildlife and indigenous races I come across from around the world in a more traditional figurative manner, while still trying to use the same bold and dynamic technique.

Artist Bio

From the mighty blue whale to the ‘lowly’ dung beetle, the world is at a crossroads. I am in the process of documenting vanishing animals, cultures, and peoples, in each one of the 195 countries around the world, across all seven continents. The orphan rhino I met in South Africa doesn’t have her own voice. The tribal warrior I met in Swaziland doesn’t deserve to see his culture erode away bit by bit. The baby green sea turtles I met swimming towards the dark ocean in a secluded beach in Nicaragua don’t know of their uncertain future. The least I can do is to give each one of them a mouthpiece, a few images, perhaps a few seconds of video clip, to show the world that they need to exist too.
