About Artwork: This is a painting about nostalgia. I met this group of kids who were visiting the skate park for their first time. Their excitement and fascination reminded me of the first time I visited a skate park as a kid. I was really surprised by how mesmerized they were by this newfound environment. No cell phones to distract them from the variety of experienced skaters performing tricks they dream of doing. I just wanted to capture this timeless moment of escapism.

Influenced by Southern California's skate culture, hip hop and tattoo culture, his works aim to elevate traditional lowbrow elements while paying homage to said subcultures.
