"My artistic practice sits at the intersection of painting, illustration, and visual
storytelling. I explore themes of identity, intimacy, emotional growth, rest, and
our relationship with nature, using surreal and dreamlike imagery as my core
language. I came to art and culture as a way to express myself and to protect
my inner child. I was never particularly comfortable with words, yet I always had
a lot to say. Making images became my way of communicating feelings and
ideas that felt too complex or fragile to explain verbally." - Gavin Kendo
