a lifetime of expressing and sharing with -O3M5-

Arroz con Leche — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 01:06:31 +0000

O3M5–

-O3M5-

I started my art career around the time of my middle school days drawing on girls notebooks and catching tags in the boys room. My whole message or goal, like any graffiti writer was to advertise my name

on all types of nouns…people, places or things. What had my attention was the idea that I can drive all over town and see my name on a dumpster or wall and say, HEY THAT’S ME! Its such a cool feeling knowing that you vandalized something as a statement and supporting an underground movement. My whole life I have had great interest in things that are controversial. As years went on and my style and control started to evolve and developed, I came to conclusion that the graffiti world is not for me. I started to express my graffiti outlet into canvas.

I label my art work as abstract surrealism vs. spray paint. My visual components involve a series of color schemes and pop characters that I have developed and marketed over the years. My goal as a human is to capture all masses and overthrow their objective of what is considered art and to embrace the underground. I feel as if im an infant in this vast world of art and self expression. I look forward to a lifetime of expressing and sharing what I call, “oems world”.

DeKAL – Discovering his ART with new school tools

Arroz con Leche — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 04:10:06 +0000

—

DeKAL has always been intrigued by comic and video game art and for a long time this was the only kind of imagery he emulated in his drawings. It was when he discovered graffiti in high school that his art was given a kind of purpose.

Then after taking his first art history and figure drawing classes in college, he was introduced to the more realistic style and subject matter that are prevalent in his art today.

Jeff majored in painting at his university but found out about concept art and Photoshop on his own time. He was amazed by the digital painting process of creation that was utilized in this field. He immediately began experimenting with it and now he can’t see himself ever not using these tools. Dekal is currently doing freelance illustration for entertainment companies, independent music artists, and any other patrons that seek him out and offer projects that he can take an interest in.

*Dekal is one of the 19 Visual Artists that will be showing his art work at “Arroz con Leche” hosted at Transit Lounge (729 SW 1st Ave Miami, FL 33130 ). Sat, Dec 5th from 10pm-5am- Art Basel weekend.

Eva Ruiz- Passionate, long lasting affair with color

Arroz con Leche — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:33:42 +0000

Eva Ruiz is a self taught artist born in Colombia. She arrived in Miami at the age of eleven, and as a child loved drawing portraits of her teachers and the landscapes of her imagination. Her notebooks were filled with drawings instead of homework, which often got her into trouble.

As an adult, Eva tried different occupations, often losing interest. Tired of bouncing in no direction, she started painting in 2003 and developed a passion and a long lasting affair with color and the world inside her imagination.

Artist Statement:

Creation is moment of honesty and dreams, a moment of possibilities fueled by imagination and infinity.

This freedom has kept me here, I invest my time in the intricate details of nature, people, music and love.

This information rushes out of me when I work.

Small shapes, spirals, smiles and dreams, are all interpretations of emotions inspired by life.
