Well I guess I should present myself!
Hi, I'm Asty, I'm a Mexican dark surrealist traditional painter and illustrator, my main mediums are watercolor, gouache, graphite and charcoal
My work's main focus is on the fragility, the wonder and the horrors of life, and the points within which all three meet.
I am obviously very attracted to dark and "scary" imagery, but within my work I try to focus more on making all these horrible "other" creatures and visages to be sympathetic and sensible, trying to understand the plight, the life, the suffering and the joy of all of that which we traditionally consider "too foreign", "too strange", "too other" to be relatable
I'm a chronically and mentally ill person, so for this reason my output can sometimes be a little slow, so please be patient with me, even if I am slow, this is something that I am passionate about and that I put all my heart, blood, sweat and tears into, sometimes literally
