Portfolio 2022
This image is the first piece of art I had done with color, most of my artworks are made with pencil or pen because that is the theme of my sketchbook. This piece has no meaning behind it whatsoever, it is supposed to simply encompass the feeling of a psychedelic and mystical energy.
This piece here is actually a combination of my work and another students work, Sofia J. Lee. She created the pieces in the middle, and I created the multi-colored corner drawings. We then realized that when we combined our originally separate artworks, that it turned out to make something even better. This is the second colored art that I have, the others will mainly be in pen and pencil.
This is the first human body drawing I’ve made. The man you see in this is named Baki, and is from the Baki anime that I have always really liked. He is a world class fighter and son of the strongest man on the planet named Yujiro. I would have loved to create another one of these for Yujiro, but never got around to it unfortunately.
This piece in particular was the visual representation of how I have felt all year after uncovering the dark secrets of Freemasonry and secret societies. Although it may not look like it upon first view, this piece is the most negative and least happy of all my artworks. To me, it signifies the removal of blissful ignorance in place of knowledge, which as a result made me feel very isolated and somewhat depressed, as I could no longer relate to my family and other people, other than a select group of friends.
On a lighter note, this piece is the last piece I have with color. I made this a few years back and it is not from this years art class. This symbolizes a tree swing that I used to always go to when I was a child. I always remember the feelings of pure joy when I was younger and used to swing on it.
This is a testimony to my belief that we are all spirits encapsulated into a meat suit/body. As you can see, the first letters spell out SPIRIT. This spirit or soul inside the body powers it to move and do everything, like gas powering a vehicle. I have much more that I can explain about this concept but I will refrain.
Lightning and electricity have always fascinated me. I knew I had to create something that revolved around lightning and electric energy, so I created this hypothetical plasma ball structure. I hope to one day create this large structure in my backyard of my future home.
This is a whale tale drawing, It originally was not supposed to be, but it slowly turned into one as my art style is to sometimes go into a drawing with absolutely no idea what I want to create, and let the image form. This is how this was created.
More about me:
Gio has always enjoyed sports particularly soccer and basketball. The best way to describe him is a spiritual vegan-athlete who enjoys self development, whether that be through going to the gym and weightlifting, or other forms of personal disciplines. He keeps a very close circle of four other best-friends that share the same ideologies as him. In Gio’s free time, you can find him walking around his neighborhood absorbing the sun with his shirt off, working in the fruit juice factory, freestyle rapping with his friends, sungazing, running, working out, or playing soccer/basketball.
