ABOUT ME

IMG_2354.jpg

My name is Dylan, and I am a self-taught artist born in Canada. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Criminology, but art has always been a part of my life. In 2018, I decided to seriously focus on developing my skills, learning through videos, textbooks, and plenty of practice. Over the years, I’ve experimented with various mediums and techniques, but in 2024, I found myself particularly drawn to acrylic painting. While I primarily work with acrylics, I often incorporate other mediums to complement my work.

​

Much of my art is inspired by personal life experiences, but I also draw inspiration from music, poetry, and books. My goal as an artist is to tell stories through my pieces, using symbols to convey meaning while still maintaining a straightforward narrative. I believe that art should be open to multiple interpretations, which is why I aim for my work to be seen and understood from different perspectives.

​

I am constantly working to refine my technical skills even further, but I openly embrace a balance with chaos and freedom in my creative process. Each day presents an opportunity to push my boundaries, and I am always striving to grow as an artist.
