Bizao is an Artist Born and Raised in Brooklyn New York. Growing up in Brooklyn in the 80's was a bit rough. At the early age of 8 yrs old, Bizao began drawing to escape his unfavorable surroundings. Using a Pen and Pencil, he put together his own Comic Books with his own original Heroes and Adventures. Over the years he evolved from using Pencil & Pen to working with Oil Pastels, Water Color Paint, Oil Paint, and Acrylic Paint.
In his early years of Painting, Bizao focused mainly on Realism. Over the years he sold his Artwork using the Alias (Anatnas Odnanref). Although becoming a Full-Time Artist has always been his ultimate Goal, the responsibilities of life did not allow for that so becoming a part-time Artist was the only option available. Painting Realism Artwork was a great experience but it seemed a bit too safe for him. Safe being that Realism Paintings are easily accepted by People vs something more Emotional, Personal, Aggressive like Abstract Paintings. By moving his focus from Realism to Abstract Paintings he was able to Express his True Inner Emotions & Memories onto each canvas he painted, making each painting more personal and meaningful. He began to use painting as if it was a Journal or Diary, the only difference is instead of pages and a pen, he uses a Canvas, various colors and a Paintbrush.
What may look like a Colorful Collage of shapes to you is actually him using every inch of the Canvas to express his Emotions and Past Memories. By using this method, he is able to offer Viewers a Beautiful Painting all while keeping its Personal details private. The Title of the painting is the only hint he gives of what each painting really depicts. By using the Title as a Guide, Observers are able to pay more attention to the painting as a whole and search for their own Images, Meanings, Connections that fall under the Titles name.
His technique definitely distinguishes him from other Abstract Artist. Nothing is Random, much thought and precision are made during the Painting stages allowing for a more Harmonious, Unique and complete final Painting.
