I was inspired by the juxtaposition of light and dark, the natural beauty of waterfalls and a personal connection to the theme of angels. The juxtaposition of the angelic figure and the waterfall is meant to evoke feelings of awe and a connection to the divine or spiritual. I hope that viewers feel a sense of wonder, serenity, or a connection to the spiritual or surreal aspects of the artwork. The juxtaposition of the angelic white shape against the dark cliff and the flowing water may provoke thoughts about the interplay of light and darkness, the cycle of life, or reflect on the beauty of nature and its connection to the spiritual realm. It could also be a metaphor for the journey of life or the cyclical nature of existence. The surreal and fine art style helps the viewers' imagination and encourage them to question the boundaries of reality and fantasy, to delve into the depths of the subconscious and explore the mysterious and unknown. The medium (ink and etching) has been chosen due to the capacity for its fine details, unique texture, and depth it can provide to the artwork. This traditional medium has been chosen to create a dreamlike, otherworldly atmosphere, emphasizing the ethereal nature of the subject. Sumi Ink, pen and etching have also been selected for its traditional and time-honored qualities, which adds to the artwork's sense of mystique.

Biography Alexander M. Dakos is a Surreal and Fantasy artist most recognized for his detailed ink works and creatures. He is a Los Angeles based artist raised a little outside in a town called Whittier. His interest in art was sparked at an early age and he started taking art & painting lessons to unleash his creativity. His earlier work was recognized and led to several art honors in school. Alex continued to study art history in college, where he earned an Associate of Arts degree. But most of what he's learned is self taught through practice. He loves to work in a variety of styles and mediums, everything between ink, graphite, oil paint, spray paint and digital. 'My genre of art tends to be surrealism and fantasy, but I like to also create experimental works of art. I generally try to incorporate human interaction with animals and insects with a deeper concept behind the piece. Most of my work has come to me through visions that I write down.' Artist Statement "I'm a self-taught American Artist inspired by philosophy, psychology, nature and religion. I work traditionally with pen and graphite on specialized paper, ink and engraving on Claybord or oil paints on wood panel. My artwork seeks to explore an alter universe where spontaneous visuals of new morphed creatures' dwell. My subject matter touches on the synergy between living things and sometimes dead things coexisting, while depicting the frailty of life and our impending mortality. I also transmit unusual dreams and visions of abstract concepts. The essence of what I’m trying to capture with my work, is a collaboration between dark moody surreal landscapes, laid out in a highly visual experience. My style tends to have a urban graphical vibe, but transformed into a more classical fine art illustrative look. My process is unique in translating the extra fine details found in the natural world, into the hyper detailed cross-stipple line style I execute. My goal is to study every aspect of my environment and the messages found within. Then to render them in a aesthetically pleasing way using various marking methods in order to reach the hearts of the viewer. I encourage all to take a deeper look at the details found within and let your inner child imagine out loud. I have so many more ideas to share with you and the world. Thank you for taking the time to see my works and I hope they can send some inspiration your way. -Alex Dakos
