My journey with visionary art began 9 years ago when I had what I would call a mystical experience which awakened me to something completely unknown at the time. The experience was the most blissful, most peaceful and most enlightening of my life up to that time. To say that I was activated or turned on is the best way to explain what happened to me, as within 2 weeks of the experience, I was crea
ting the early pieces that you can see on my “Beginnings” page. In my early time as an artist, I explored new techniques and methods and literally spent hours every day creating new pieces and playing with colours, images and fun ideas. It wasn’t long after that my own spiritual journey started taking me into deep explorations with meditation, shamanic journeying and deep connections with the mystical; with nature and with music. I have tried my best to show what it is that I have seen with my own eyes. I started to incorporate symbols and symbolism; gods and goddesses as I was introduced to them through my journeys. I am heavily influenced by such great artists as Alex Grey, Vincent Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Mugwort and Android Jones. Many of their pieces and concepts have inspired my own. The process of creating these pieces can often times be quite magical. I will put on some of my favorite music and have a few glasses of wine or a few beer as I work. It is then that I’m taken over by the art and will often not see the picture being created until I zoom out of the fine details and see a mosaic of colour and imagery coming together. Some would call this expression of art the muse; and I guess it’s the best way to explain what takes over me during the process. My art has been featured at a number of electronic music festivals throughout Alberta and BC, such as Shambhala, Astral Harvest, Motion Notion and Inshala. I’ve also showcased my art at a number of gallery shows, along the streets in the city of Calgary, been featured in numerous magazines, on cd cover art, a book cover, at a number of yoga studios, in a number of private collections, on posters and print art. My hopes are to display my art onto t-shirts and clothing in 2014. My mission is to share my own experiences, to awaken those around me to the magic of life, to the divine and to our deepest and most true selves. I have explored the maps of our consciousness; found countless teachers and teachings and wish to continue that work through my art. I hope you enjoy my site. That you visit often and that you share your own experiences. With much love and light, Vincent
