Although you might not be able to tell by these artworks, a lot of his other pieces depicted his life in Europe. The ones here look like they jumped out of his imagination. It may seem childish to see squid (octopus?) floating around someone's head (or in his other pictures, he has animals wrapped around heads), but the way he depicts it adds sophistication.

His artworks all seem to tell a story, and that is what gives the pieces a sense of visual coherence. Although the combination of objects in his pieces may look bizarre at first glance, it looks good as a whole.

The way he uses color gives emphasis to whatever object he uses it on. I saw in his artwork that he uses a lot of red, when everything else is black and white. I love his style and the thin, black lines he uses to create shapes.

  1. This one is my favorite for sure! It's so quirky and the compositions are to die for. Do you see yourself doing something along this line? Kinda reminds me of your painting last year.

  2. This is my favorite too! I actually am considering doing something like this. I love the style and watercolor is my favorite medium.
