About this artwork

A strong and barely controllable emotion. The artwork is a vibrant, textured painting depicting two figures standing side by side against a bold red background. The figures are rendered with broad, expressive brushstrokes, featuring a diverse spectrum of colors, which infuses them with a sense of energy and movement. While they could represent people given their upright stances and human-like forms, their features are abstracted, preventing the viewer from discerning detailed facial features or definitive clothing. The use of color and the impasto technique, where the paint is thickly applied to the canvas, creates a three-dimensional feel and the illusion of depth and volume. The overall impact is modern and expressive, hinting at the complexity of human interaction and emotion.

His artwork has also been displayed at various exhibits and art shows since childhood, including three human hair sculptures at Ripley's Believe It or Not! museum; his published book, Wake the Wicked: Thirteen Twisted Tales, fulfilled his lifelong dream to write, publish, illustrate, and design a collection of short horror stories in late 2012. In late 2016 - early 2017, Christian's iMessage stickers, Gnome Sweet Gnome were featured on the front page of Apple's iTunes App store.
