ANX giveaway + new canvas , by Coach on Dec 16, 2013 22:20:07 GMT 1, Which artist would you say influences your work the most denada? A lot of people have commented that my work is similar to Sickboy's, and I own a lot of his work - so I guess it is fair to make that connection if you're looking for a artist to compare me to in this 'scene'. But I'm not content with copying another artists work and I'm looking to forge my own path. I've only been painting since February, and I realize I have a long way to go to truly develop my own signature style. My connections to Spain (in particular Madrid) have led me to explore the Prado's collection extensively and Bosch's work has left a lasting impact. As well as the Spanish masters Goya (referenced in my painting 'Fale Profit') / Dali etc. My Indian ancestry (and visits) have also been a huge influence. For example in my latest painting 'Aphelion' above, one of the main inspirations in the step wells of Northern India which makes the chest of the figure resting on the pillars. However the strongest influence / inspiration would be my own thoughts / feelings and dreams. The reason I chose the name ANX was that it is a abbreviation of the word anxiety. Something I suffer from. In essence painting helps me relax and it has become meditative for me and helps me express my feelings in a positive manner.
Thank you for sharing that.
I, for one, am a fan of your work.
Both of your new pieces are beautiful.
Keep doing what you're doing mate.

ANX giveaway + new canvas , by HRE on Dec 16, 2013 22:42:01 GMT 1, I remember the first painting you showed to the forum and you have come leaps and bounds in the short time you have been painting. Keep it up it's really working for you now and I'm sure your style will continue to develop but keep working at it you have a talent.
