From childhood
Fred enjoyed all things fantasy. He was a very creative child and teenager,
always drawing, always creating, and that continued into his adulthood.
With a strong interest in fantasy
and mythology it was inevitable that Fred would eventually start creating
his own magical fantasy art. His early works were many fairy pictures in
coloured pencil and chalk, many of which are still very popular.
In 2007 he started working digitally.
Over the first year he used digital watercolour for his creations, which
was mainly fairy and goddess based. His art style in these early days was
what is called modern pop-art, meaning bright colours, bold poses and a
minimalistic feel.
In 2008 he started art school and
took classes in photorealism, as that was an area that was always of great
interest to him. During this time he also moved from his signature style
of modern pop-art to a more traditional fine art style, which you can be
noticed in his early 2008 work. Because he was always drawn to the dark
side of fantasy he started creating Vampires and Demons, adding to the
collection a fairy or two and a few goddesses. For these new advanced style
paintings he started using digital airbrushes.
While studying art and learning more
about his craft, Fred focused a lot of his time and work on commission
art in order to finance his new career path. |
