Portrait of Elaine (2022) Painting by Amos Monks

I am a self-made painter. When I was 5  I met an artist who was drawing comics for D.C. which impressed me a lot. Being a child I was fascinated with Michaelangelo and the cover art of 1960s horror comic books which pushed me to start with pencil drawing. I had a dream those days - to write and illustrate comic books. I even made one  - complete comic book  from the story to full illustration with a mind boggling name "Stink Brothers Final opening night".
Time went on but the power of drawing never left me since then, only getting stronger with every new work. At the  start it was black & white pencil, then pastels, colour pencil, watercolour and finally oil painting .
I don't have Fine Arts diplomas and grades - I have my senses, eyes and colours to tell stories of life and people. I still believe these are the main grades to trust and I present all these to the judgement of the public, occasional visitors, amateurs and professionals.
