AbelArt

As a person with down syndrome, it has sometimes been challenging for me to express myself with words. I have a lot to share and art has given me a chance to show my unique and colorful view of the world.

My medium is mix media and I use different sources of material that I find on street curbs, movie theaters, and from comic book stores. I also do a lot of research online to find unique images that go with my visual stories. 

I often find my inspiration from the glamour of Marilyn Monroe that I contrast with the intensity of graphic novels. I use wooden frames to create a kind of film frame snapshot of a mysterious intriguing story.
