I believe that art is the essence of your soul and personality coming to life in your work. Throughout my collection, you will see a lot of graffiti-inspired pieces along with a combination of different forms of mixed media. Using a combination of different shades of red, hearts, kisses, lipsticks and feminine words, I created the “Stay Sexy” pattern that appears in much of my art. I created the job title “Visual Mixed Media Artist” because I’ve studied many forms of art and combine them to create my work. I truly believe art is the only thing I am good at. Because of this, I pour everything into it, desiring to prove I’m one of the best artists in history.
ARTIST BIO
Dante
ARTISTS OF TODAY
Danté created the job title “Visual/Mixed Media Artist” because of the different art forms he combines to create an income for himself. He also created the “Stay Sexy” pattern which consists of different shades of red, hearts, kisses, lipsticks and feminine words.
Born in Harlem, NYC, Dantέ was exposed to art at an early age by his older cousin. This cousin was enrolled in art school and would teach Dantέ what he learned starting when Dantέ was just three years old. He was exposed to many forms of art across multiple media during his early years, and with that influence and guidance, Dantέ continued to pursue art throughout his life.
After graduating from Parkside High School in Salisbury, Maryland in 2003, he moved back to New York to attend the Pratt Institute School of Art and Design.
Dantè has exhibited his work at Gallery 69 in Tribeca, NYC and YGallery Salon in Soho, NYC, including some collaborations with TAKI 1
