JULIOZARATE

“My vision is to fluently combine styles, techniques, purpose, themes, and presentation of the two artistic worlds that mean so much to me: hip hop and classic compositions.”

The passion, color, line usaege, design elements, and improvisational style are some of the elements that moved me to begin creating art.
My goal in recent works has been to incorporate my love of hip-hop elements into more “classic” compositions and themes within oil and mixed media paintings. My work is not an attempt to make a modern spin-off of graffiti or create classically-composed oil paintings. This evolution in my work has developed over the last decade mixed media painter.
