Artist Statement: Christopher Cruz / Social Themes, Emotions, Experimenting


I have had a love for art since I was a kid. I primarily work digitally, though I have worked with other mediums such as charcoal, and various paints. As I work towards developing as an illustrator, I wish to explore character design, texture, and artistic style. I enjoy the learning process of the various areas in art while seeking to refine my understanding and proficiency in the field.


I create art because I enjoy expressing my interests and thoughts. My work explores social themes, emotions, and experimenting styles. These consist of subjects like abortion rights and focuses on the self, covering them in a variety of styles whether fully illustrated or pixel art made. My work is influenced by various artists that have a cartoonish or animated style.

 

The artwork I create often uses round shapes with sharp lines. Some images are designed with a lineless approach while others use a holding line. I want my work to instill curiosity and thought while creating connections between the viewer and my work.
