Captain Barboz
ARTIST BIO
A multimedia artist, born in the UAE, with this unexplainable attraction towards the arts. I studied art throughout high school and ended up failing miserably. But, I never let this hinder my drive towards the arts. In 2015, after working with the likes of Kurt Wenner, Jay Fannakappan, Leon Keer and veterans in the International mural circuit, I decided to work on my own line of mural designs. In the years to follow I worked with brands like Redbull; who gave me my first wall, to HP and Formula1, successfully designing and painting a series of walls in public spaces.
In 2018, after a fruitful run in Dubai, I moved to Melbourne to further enhance my self taught painting techniques. Currently studying for my second bachelor's degree in fine arts at RMIT. The first one being a BCOM in marketing. This helps me stay in tune with my creative side constantly through my process. I believe my work has been evolving since my move to Melbourne. Taking the direction of a more collaborative approach, mashing together elements that look aesthetically twisted enough to entice the viewer. The mediums that I focus on are Acrylics, inks, and digital illustrating on procreate.
My goal as an artist is to be self-sustaining and to create work that reflects my thought process. Each artist tends to leave behind a unique clue, that is something I've been working towards in my practice. My process until today is still unveiling more itself by focusing on a multitude of techniques in line and shape. My work tends to tell a story of my adventures as a global citizen going around the world, reaching out to extreme ends of the spectrum.
