About

I am Stuart Griggs, an independent artist from Wales, U.K.

I primarily create visual art for exhibition spaces, while also extending my skills into design. In my work I explore the nexus of drawing and digital art, synthesising the two approaches into an idiosyncratic language.

I use digital tools to transmit interior narrative, symbol, and intention. I am drawn to the psychological dimensions of the creative journey and my work often probes into the psychic pool of collective archetypes, the primordial, and the transpersonal realms.

Themes of death and rebirth, hope, mysticism, animism, fertility, ritual, flow, transcendence, and healing are are interwoven with abstract and representational elements as i allow a tacit sense of the numinous to unfold and transmit.

My work expands and interacts in the context of our globally connected environment. It is cross cultural fusion that utilises new technology while integrating archaic elements, shamanic motifs and stylistic influences from, symbolism, surrealism, abstraction, and contemporary illustration. It mirrors our times, whilst offering a boundary dissolving shift in perspective. In a time of socio political and environmental crisis the works message offers a paradigm of interconnectivity and healing within ourselves and nature .
