Psychedelic colors and visuals influence a large portion of JDAP’s work.
JDAP has been through many battles with depression. The artwork that surfaces during these periods is raw and a rare view into JDAP’s soul.
JDAP is inspired by a wide range of color palettes, and often draws and paints in completely abstract color.
Joe experiences regular seizures. Sometimes he says he sees monsters float through his mind, and he records them in his art. Some are purely imagination.
Eyes, often described as the windows to the soul, are portrayed in different contexts and mediums as a reoccurring theme in Joe’s art.
JDAP loves working with charcoal, and also with layering the color black. Treating black as a textural experience is a theme that reoccurs in Joe’s art throughout his process as an artist over the years.
