SKELA

Skela aka Sanguine Skills. I am a French/American artist with an itch to travel and Skelarize the world. I utilize my Sanguine Skills to brighten up your day. Sanguine means to be particularly positive in a very bad situation. What’s the bad situation? Which one should I start with. The world has become overwhelmed with bad news and an unease for the future, so my goal in life is to bring color and a smile to people. My signature style which I call skelarizing is a geometrical shell that explodes with color, nature, and energy. At times my work talks about decay, extinction, and the mistreatment of nature and sometimes its just plain fun with cheeky humor and love stories between animals, because there is enough heaviness in the world. Myth has been circling humanity like a planet chases a star in the solar system. It’s the never-ending imagination that teaches us significant and sometimes trivial life lessons. My universe speaks of cosmic warriors and creatures big and small who use their elegance and ease to slip wisdom and humor into your everyday life. Vogueing their way into your heart on the rhythms of a dark retro wave. But whether serious or jolly it is always vibrant. Cosmic warriors and electric creatures, along with retro waves and dark disco sounds, bring a new dawn to the cities and its people. I currently reside in New Orleans, LA and have painted all around the US as well as Colombia and Mexico among some.
