Vesalius

Bio

Vesalius’s fascination with contemporary art and art history has influenced his hybrid style, from classical to impressionism to abstract expressionism, complimented by his choice in colors, tones, pigments, and layering. The combined effect creates excitement and brings life to his art. His work has been exhibited at the UNICEF Next Generation Art event in Venice, California in 2016, and Charity Stars online auction in 2016 in support of the Fondazione Theodora Onlus children’s charity. In 2017, he displayed artwork at the Venice Art Crawl in Venice Beach, California. This was for cultural contribution within the local community. In 2018, Vesalius took part in Aqua Art Miami during Art Basel in December. During Miami Art Week, super model and actor Tyson Beckford had the opportunity to obtain a painting from Vesalius. Recently in 2019, Vesalius has painted a portrait for Dennis Graham who is an American musician and actor from Memphis, Tennessee. He is best known for being Drake’s father. In addition, Vesalius was invited by Kiva, who is one of the original members from the Pussycat Dolls to be part of the Centennial Gala, a tribute to Yvonne Mounsey at the Broad Stage for their silent auction in order to raise funds for the ballet. In addition, Vesalius partnered with Hollywood and Washington D.C. insider, Toni Holt Kramer for the Beverly Hills Women’s Club season opening. Toni Holt Kramer spoke on stage and Vesalius provided an art show which included live charcoal portrait sketches for guests. In the same year, Vesalius also painted a 204 foot mural in a fresco style on a rooftop for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Vesalius was raised observing and creating art. He is a self-taught artist who has studied volumes of works from cave paintings to contemporary and has informally studied art abroad, seven countries in total. He feels that understanding key periods in art history are essential for understanding the influences of our current time. His style is continuously being transformed by every single piece that he creates.
