Progress pics of some of my work at the artist in residence at the drake hotel Artist Loft in Toronto Canada. ๐๐
The study sketches and preliminary line work down on the chalkboard. Having fun with chalk as a medium, a little messy and hard to control but it should have interesting results.
Haven't worked with chalk before so when I was presented with the opportunity I thought it would be a fun challenge and a way to go outside of the medium that I'm comfortable with.

"Union Station Primaries" , 20" x 16" oil on wood.
This painting marks one of my early experiments with adding primary colors in a captivatingly abstract way to my art. The vibrant hues blur the line between realism and abstraction, all while reflecting the essence of the station's structure. And ill be honest, I wanted to add the primary colours because I like them๐ฅณ๐

"Union Station # 14" 6" x 8", Oil on Wood. For those outside of Canada this painting is based on Union Station in Toronto Ontario which is I think Canada's largest station. . This piece gave me quite a bit of trouble I ended up leaving it alone for about a week because something felt off at the beginning but I couldn't figure out what. I did small value sketches and I think I finally fixed it. As always let me know what you think of this piece.๐

Artist from Portugal living in Canada Ontario. Diogo's work revolves around public transit, this theme was picked to symbolize the speed of city culture. Due to the speed of its culture things tend to get missed, specifically the architecture of urbanscapes.
