His work is deep, divine and so compelling, the images he creates appear to lift right off the page. Cliff Travis is an Edmonton born, contemporary visual artist.
Some people are just born with talent. They have a natural knack for their niche and they are able to excel in it. Travis is one of those individuals and he is self taught.
His artistic endeavors started off with graphite drawings but as his experience evolved so did his style. His recent focus had turned to abstract paintings characterized by heavy textures which has grown into the 3 dimensional masterpieces that you see today. His bio reads:
My art production has evolved and increased in recent years, expanding in a more abstract manner, seeking to work more freely with elements of interest. Relinquishing control and allowing more intuitive expression has been challenging, but curiously fascinating and fulfilling. I challenge myself to utilize life experiences and observations in experimental and innovative ways to produce unprecedented hybrid works, continually developing as he seeks out new materials and techniques.
Cliff is constantly working on new techniques. He is currently experimenting with fluid acrylics and painting to incorporate drawing hybrids with the help of fluid art techniques. He is very committed to his experiments and enjoys the process.
