Alexis Vaatete
Alexis Vaatete was in love with art as far back as his memory can take him. Born with an imagination that is limitless, and an artistic talent to match, art was and is the way he has come to be. As a youth living between Los Angeles and Orange County, Alexis found a passion for art flourishing inside him and never found himself without inspiration. It was the unceasing source of the dreams of night and day that fed his artistic outlet. With the creative power that was flowing through his veins, he was able to expel that energy into drawings to bring those images to life on anything he can find. With the comic book cards he had collected as a kid, he started to reference the art in an effort to enhance his skills. In strengthening his skills as a child, Alexis had only just begun his journey down the path of art. Always seeking to further his abilities, Alexis has a high appreciation and taste for doing portraiture, realism and surrealism. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he delves into as many styles as possible, to become well rounded in each. While art will always be his passion, he maintains that the greatest piece of art he has ever created is his son, who makes him strive to be the best he can be in all aspects of life.
