Cary Koffler born may 8th, 1959 in Los Angeles, CA. As far as I can remember, I loved anything that was "Horror", by age four I was writing and illustrating my own horror stories. From ten to thirteen years old I lived in Pisa, Italy, where I became inspired by the great Italian renaissance artists; such as Michelangelo, and Da Vinci. While overseas I traveled throughout most of Europe, visiting sites most only read about in history books! I moved back to Southern California just in time to enter high school, where chronic use of hallucinogens skyrocketed me to higher levels of consciousness likewise creativity. From 1977 to 1981 I attended UCLA as a fine arts major, broadening my artistic medium to include photography, sculpture, and performance art. After graduating UCLA, I went on to graduate studies at Otis Art Institute in LA; working as a freelance illustrator, occasionally exhibiting my fine arts work at local galleries. ----------#STATEMENT#---------- I paint what's inside of my head; the visions, ideas, concepts, dreamscapes, and hallucinations that perpetually bombard my brain nonstop, reveal themselves to me; birthing themselves to become the artwork that I do. I usually have about six to eight projects going on simultaneously, which keeps me constantly on the move and each project fresh when I return to it. I definitely would not be the person I am, doing the artwork that I do, had I not been inspired by such great artists as Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, Hieronymus Bosch, Gustav Dore, Salvador Dali, MC Escher, Pablo Picasso, and H.R. Gieger.
