Rain Delmar

A New York surrealist, my allegorical approach to painting has been called dysphoric and silent, vulgar and elegant, horrifying yet romantic. I attribute these dualities to their place of origin the subconscious. Their primary inspiration are night terrors that afflict me from infancy, and I translate them onto canvas. I wish to portray psycho-spiritual turmoils as they are in their primordial form, undiluted by rationale, and have dedicated my life to their execution. In 1999 I moved from Ukraine to U.S. where I received a bachelors in Illustration from School of Visual Arts and continue pursuing the language of the fantastical and macabre.
