EXPLORE THE ART
DerectumArt features 15+ years of Digital Art created using primarily Photoshop. The style is originally inspired by elements found in: Japanese Manga Art, American Comic Books, Gothic Stain glass windows and Videogame Concept Art.
Additional inspiration derives from Renaissance Classical Art, Religious Art and pure, unfiltered inspiration.

I. The Classical Rebirth Collection
This collection features my best works, heavily inspired by Classical Art. This is part of an ongoing effort to not only connect to past masterworks, but also ‘resurrect’ or bring them back to a contemporary audience through a personal style inspired both by Manga Art (strong lineart) and Gothic stain glass windows.
Themes include: religious symbolism, Mythology and History.

Many of these works are also available as Limited-Edition Framed, Signed Prints. If you wish to support my work and decorate your home, you may find them HERE.
II. Original Art & Books
Ongoing effort to combine my love for art and character design with an original story in the form of books. As of 2026 it features two original, illustrated novels. The novels are in the genre of dark, fictional sci-fi with a strong focus on character drama and psychology. Both novels contain various elements of graphic design and illustrations in an attempt to create something ‘more’ than just simple books.
They represent my best works so far.
The first, Meliade, was released in 2023 and marks the beginning of an ongoing story. The plot centres on the story of Avryll Rétierre and the discovery of a new source of energy called ‘EV-A’, which is tied to her past traumas and her relationship to her mother Madeline, who pioneered the use of this new technology.
The story is inspired by the likes of Deus Ex, Bladerunner and Westworld, featuring cyberpunk aesthetics and themes alongside a deep exploration of character psychology.
Meliade is available in Paperback, Hardback and Ebook on Amazon HERE.
The second novel, Dreamwalker, was released in 2025. It is set six months after the events of Meliade and explores the story of Franz Ansam, a man who can journey inside the minds of others through a serum that allows him access to their dreams. It expands the world introduced in Meliade, contains more illustrated sections and lore, and has an even stronger focus on the mind of its characters.
It features a darker storyline with elements of horror inspired by the likes of Silent Hill or the videogame The Evil Within (2014).
Dreamwalker is available in Paperback, Hardback and Ebook on Amazon HERE.
II. Symbolism
Recent stages of my journey through Art have featured a strong pull towards symbolism. This is tied to my ongoing spiritual work and study of sacred texts, as well as the understanding of psychology, mythology and metaphysics. Human history features many areas of inquiry into these topics, often tied to Mysticism and the Occult.
- The Rune Series
Created between 2019 and 2020, the Rune Series features 24 original artworks exploring the mystical interpretations of the Norse Runes, one of the oldest Alphabets ever recorded. Specifically this project features the ‘Elder Futhark’; each artwork was created after careful study and personal understanding of each Rune.

This art ties to a completed writing project known as the ‘Rune Series’, featuring articles exploring the meaning behind each symbol as it correlates to psychology, mythology and personal experience. You can find it HERE.
- The Grammaticon
Ongoing project focused on the symbolism of the Greek Alphabet and conceived as a continuation of the Rune Series. This is the most complex, challenging and beautiful work I’ve ever attempted and one that has considerably changed me personally. It features 24 artworks for each letter alongside an associated article diving into symbolism, psychology, philosophy, history, mythology and metaphysics.

III. Commission Work
I’ve had the opportunity to work for clients and create meaningful designs, exploring their requests and doing my best to understand and capture their vision. Below are some examples:

IV. SMITE Mythology
Fanart created using 3D Models, posed and painted over in 2D space. Models belong to and are property of Hi-Rez Studios (SMITE). This ongoing project is a tribute to excellent character design and my love for Mythology.

V. Experimental Art
Passion project featuring experimental art, usually involving videogame assets. For example my love for the Warcraft videogame franchise inspired me to explore their 3D Models. I was then interested in creating artworks by combining screenshots of these models, posed and painted over, inside their corresponding worlds. The ‘old’ nature of these videogame worlds allows for the creation of distinct, interesting art.
