"I guess everyone's calling me a "horror artist" because I deal with difficult emotions and themes such as fear, angst, madness, rage and sorrow in my art. But I also use a lot of humour. Making my demons having fun on the canvas. You could describe my art as horror pop surrealism or dark lowbrow. My work includes mixed media, paintings and digital collages.
I'm self taught, using my own techniques and constantly learning new stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes it sucks, but that's all part of my self education. The fact that I'm also an art historian has definitely had a great impact on my art. But I'm mostly inspired by movies and film directors such as David Lynch, Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Roy Andersson, Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton and artists like Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Bruegel, Francisco Goya, Jean-Michel Basquiat and the masters of Disney Studio's in the 1930's-40's. All my collegues in the Lowbrow Art Movement are also inspiration sources."

  • amazing

  • I hate the music.

  • Disturbante!

  • so different! Just in time for HALLoWEEN.

  • I don't like your art, Mia. I don't enjoy the style, I don't feel like looking at it and it makes me feel literally ill.

    But I'm glad it exists, because for all that much that I don't like it, I find it tremendously inspiring and find it great material when it comes to needing ideas.

  • beautiful

  • niceee

  • at 0:20 that is the most morbid thing I've ever seen in my life

  • neanche surreali sti mostri purtroppo la realta' supera la fantasia basta vedere questi ultimi fatti di cronaca per renderci conto quanti di questi mostri ci sono in giro.

  • as always: very interesting! 5*****
