Imaginary Realism Painter

Gabe Wells

My focus with painting has been to explore my inner world and journey through mental health in an allegorical imaginary realism style that evokes emotions and creative thoughts in the viewer. I primarily use oil paints to create my artwork, utilizing old world techniques of underpaintings along with layers of glazing colors to build up the light and dark contrasts in the artwork, illuminating the subject matter. My content comes from my life experiences and my own journey through inner healing and mental health. The meaning and intention behind my artwork is to create beautiful artwork that is technically strong with a harmonious color scheme that draws the viewers attention, and then subject matter that intrigues their intellect while connecting with our shared journey of self discovery. Sharing our inner world through art is like a communal hug from the universe saying we are not alone on this journey.

I am a visual artist, painter, and sculptor whose artwork explores themes of introspection, identity, and connection.

Currently based in Denver, Colorado.
