Description We are here just passing through. The constant presence of death reminds us of the need to seize the little moments of our life, of seeing and valuing the beauty of the little things.Also reminds us that we are all equal before our mortality. In death, no matter our stories, our motives, opinions, race, religion, tastes, etc., in the passage to the unknown world, we are all equal.We witness changes in ourselves and in our world throughout our lives. Sometimes we suffer complete metamorphosis in our being, such as butterflies, who share with us the ephemerality of existence, though much shorter, yet much more significant.And we all carry secrets, some more than others, some larger than others. But no matter those secrets, before the call of life beyond death, in the passage trough the door to another dimension, another world, they lose their importance, their strenght. All the secrets, mysterious by nature and sometimes destructive, is in its turn destroyed, in the revelation of the unknown, of the darkness or light.
Diogo Verissimo Member Since October 2014 Artist Statement Hi! My name is Diogo Veríssimo. I’m a designer & illustrator from Portugal.
I consider myself an avid daydreamer and it is my goal to give life to the strange creatures, concepts and odd worlds that keep populating my imagination.
I love to try new things and always seek to learn and work in several areas, including Photoshop, traditional drawing, mixed media, vector art, etc.
I plan to enter, somewhere in the future, in the magic world of the children’s books illustrations and maybe in the amazing world of animation.
