My inspiration comes from Surrealism and the powerful works of Salvador Dali and the delicate machinations of Max Ernst. Although, I love Surrealism, there are other schools that inspire me just as much, and they are; Contemporary Art, Modernist-Primitivism, Expressionism and last, but definitely not the least, the representational work of the Classical Masters of the Renaissance.
