Artist Biography

 Antonio's paints Abstract, Surrealism and representational art all combined into his own unique style titled "Currents" and "Currents Elevated". Antonio's "Currents Elevated Series" led him to creating his "Dreamscape Series".  Antonio's "Dreamscape Series" is 9x12 acrylic on paper. They are  animals transforming into birds. His inspiration comes from how he sees the beauty in the world around him. Antonio's passion drives him to make his visions become a reality. 
 
Antonio developed a technique using negative canvas space in the place of white paint in 2013 after graduating from the University of Maryland. He draws parallel lines on the canvas before he starts painting. When he's painting, he stops at the first line and raises his paintbrush up off the canvas -- places it back down at the second line and begins painting again leaving the negative canvas space showing in the place of white paint. He paints fish and other animals in the negative canvas space sometimes capturing them in their natural habitat. The circular two-toned stripes were created to resemble ripples of water after a pebble has been tossed in. You can find many of his progression work on Instagram - @antonioscottart
