His work is inspired by everything from classic film to comics and is constantly evolving, which he says is his greatest joy in art. Barrett blends digital art painting and photographic techniques to make detailed, traditional-looking compositions that blend elements of classical art styles including Art Nouveau, Victorian, Futurism, Art Deco, Americana, and even tribal ethnic elements. Despite their precision, Barrett aims for these works to focus on emotion and texture over photo-realism, a style often called “Tra-digital.” |
