Gabiko IoMo
I believe art is essential for humanity: witness of changes, it punctuates the epochs. It always captivated me and I practiced it in one form or another, but I began to be interested by digital painting after I’ve discovered fractals—the beauty made by a machine. Hurrying to try a different mode of expression, I invented computer graphics and, since then, I do everything in my own way. Thus, my technique and style are unique and my equipment is deliberately limited.
I consider that in my creations there is 25% talent, 25% artistic sense, and 25% meticulous effort. The remaining 25% is boldness.
I work tirelessly—everything can become a source of inspiration—and I am constantly experimenting. I play with volumes and lights, balancing forms and harmonizing hues.
My paintings are composed with frank, exuberant colours on black background, but the tones are serene. Strong, sometimes hyperbolic, always honest, they have—quite often—a touch of irony. The viewer must deeply investigate them to discover—behind the ornamental—the true meaning of each title.
You may like my art or not, but it will not go unnoticed.
