JUSTIN WINKEL
Bio
Justin Winkel is a multidisciplinary self-taught artist whose journey as an artist began while going through a difficult period in his life. Through painting he was able to express his emotions and process his grief from losing his father and grandmother within 8 months of each other. Art provided Justin with a sense of purpose once again. In 2015, just two years into his painting career, Justin opened his Art Studio and began his journey as a professional artist. Now Justin paints from a place of love and peace and creates works of art that are derived from his personal experiences.
Through a wide range of artistic mediums, including painting, sculpture, and mixed media, Justin explores the intricate nuances of grief and loss. His art serves as a cathartic expression, capturing the fragility and resilience of the human spirit in the face of profound sorrow. His pieces beckon the beholder to grasp the very essence of their encounter, urging a journey through the realms of emotions. With a keen eye for detail and a profound understanding of the human condition, he delves into the depths of emotional landscapes, unraveling complex layers of introspection and healing, all while aspiring to transport the audience to the ethereal origins of his inspiration, most often found in the heart of the natural worlds' poetic landscapes.
Whether it's the gentle sway of trees in the breeze, the ethereal hues of a sunset, or the delicate petals of a flower, nature's bountiful color offerings find their way into his art. By intertwining the themes of grief and nature, Justin creates a harmonious synergy that speaks to the inherent connections between human emotions and the natural world.
Justin's art has garnered recognition and acclaim in both local and international art circles. His exhibitions have provided solace, inspiration, and a sense of communion for those who have encountered his work. Through his artistic journey, Justin not only creates a profound impact on the art world but also invites others to embark on their own transformative exploration of grief, nature, and the human experience.
In summary, his work serves as a conduit for emotional healing, offering viewers a transformative experience that transcends traditional artistic boundaries.
