My personal visual aesthetic is hard to pin down. As a natural eclectic, I have explored many different genres of art, music, movies, books, and anything else that inspires me.
Over the years, though, I have found that few things have really inspired enough of a sense of awe in me to make me want to create personal visions of my own as the fantasy/science fiction art genres. Although they are both still filled with art I find distasteful (no genre is perfect), I have found that I get most of my inspiration from pieces that depict dramatic landscapes and grandiose pieces of ornately detailed architecture. I also find art that incorporates other-worldly elements (usually things that can’t be found or experienced on this world or plane of existence) as key to inspiring me to create like visions from my mind.
It is for these reasons that I eventually aim to have a business of my own where I can create my visions without the restrictions of a client and sell my art online.

Overall, though, my eclectic personality tells me that my personal aesthetic is all about life. Burgeoning, creative, wonderful, expressive, incredible life.
With that, I leave you with a statement I think applies, not just to creative artists and designers, but to everyone:
There is but one secret to the universe…
…Thought creates.
