Jacob Barfield
My art is merely an expression of my constant pursuit of knowledge and
experience in life. My whole life I have enjoyed creating new and original things.
Starting in elementary school with an interest in drawing and design. I quickly
began improving my repertoire of skills by learning anything that caught my eye
whether I believed it would help my art or not. This mentality allowed me to lead
an enriched and experienced life that I am able to translate through my art. Using
a variety of original and traditional techniques that stem from many different
crafts paired with a desire for technical perfection. I aim to create new/never
before seen art pieces or concepts that reflect upon me as an artist.
When I’m designing a new piece or concept I do so with the goal of creating
something that allows the viewers a moment of escape and amazement. I try to
design pieces with enough complexity to promote the feeling of wonder while
keeping it simple enough for anyone to enjoy. Using a variety of techniques and
mediums I strive to come up with styles that have yet to be created with the end
goal of creating something unique and meaningful.
The art I create is merely a representation of a moment in my life and as I
continue down this journey in life my art will continue to evolve with me. I look
forward to the many things I have yet to learn and hopefully my art inspires others to feel the same.
