My name is Julian Quattro. I am a Toronto based visual artist. Art has always been my number one passion. Throughout the years I have explored drawing, painting, decorating, and photography. I grew up taking art classes, as well as creating art on my own. I have experimented with many different styles, and feel I have finally found what truly inspires me.
I tend to be drawn to the taboo and eye catching. Inspiration for my often gothic and sci-fi-esque drawings come from all around, including movies, fashion, and architecture. My work is in large part informed by classical art, as well as my imagination, and nature.
I start by gathering inspiration through photographs I take, or taking notes of ideas I have. Once I have a clear idea in mind for a piece, I start by drawing the outline with a pencil on thick paper. I then use Faber Castell Polychromos coloured pencils, or an assortment of water based markers to complete the piece.
