Lou is both a traditional and digital artist.
Traditional Art
Acrylic is his chosen medium. Lou’s art is mostly contemplative, characterised by heavy textures using brushes, palette knives, and other mark making tools. His subjects are varied, from human figures to landscapes, from floral and still life. His task is to provide mood and atmosphere that may transport the viewer to a similar personal experience.

Digital Art

His background on motion graphics and animation has provided him the necessary skills for his digital paintings, which has strong environmental themes, combining storytelling with freehand Photoshop illustrations. He has minted NFT's just recently in the OBJKT platform.
