About
I am a concept designer/fine artist. I was born in Montreal, Quebec, and currently lives in Ontario with my family. My career spans over 20 years designing and creating for a wide range of nationally and internationally recognized corporations, magazines and publishers. My work has been featured in Catapult Magazine, American Illustration and Communication Arts. I’ve worked in the video game and theme park industry. My work varies from mural creation for Universal Studios to being commissioned by Sports Illustrated,The Atlantic Monthly, Forbes, BusinessWeek and Time magazine. I have also created designs of sculptures and props for the Beijing Cube Water Park. The water park won a WWA Industry Innovation Award. I’ve also collaborated in the design of the Dollywood Mystery Mine, in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which won the Theme Park Insider Award for Best New Attraction of the year .
My work urges the viewer to perceive conceptual art as part of a reactive or, at times, an artistic dialect, commenting on subjugating themes in our contemporary society. By rejecting objective truth and global cultural narratives, I touch upon various overlapping themes. My work has always assembled many characteristics of visionary, fantasy and sci-fi, often with a touch of whimsical. Several reoccurring topics and themes can be identified throughout my work, like putting popular culture in direct interaction with the antiquated. Experimenting with visual concepts using traditional and digital means, I find myself immersed in the realm of psychology and mystique, which to me are one and the same, in much the same way as meditation and prayer eventually lead to psychological and spiritual experiences that transform oneself into a new enigmatic paradox.
My inspirations are first and foremost everything I see, sense and experience. The Vienna School Of Fantastic Realism, Art Deco, pop-culture and film noir are amongst my major influences.
I hope you enjoy my gallery.
