Artist's Statement

I'm a Seattle-based artist who produces art under the moniker, croteaumacabre. Using energetic line-work and bold compositions, I create art that explores the tension where the nihilism of horror, the inevitability of the momento mori, and the philosophy of enlightenment, meet. Inspired by subjects and touchstones from a variety of pop-culture genres, metaphysics, and historical art movements, my work utilizes the atmosphere, modes, and symbols of the macabre juxtaposed with colorful, psychedelic abstraction.

 

Said more simply...

​

I'm an illustrator and designer that creates art with energetic line-work, bold compositions, and a touch of psychedelic expressionism. I explore psychological and metaphysical themes through the symbols and touchstones of the horror genre to find meaning, dark humor, and transcendence in exploring our deepest fears.
