Ross Pino, The Seaport, NYC 2024
Artist Bio: Ross Pino is an artist that embraces the fullness of the “life experience”. Their is a duality that all feel and sense at some point, but not all know what it is. This polarity is that of light and dark, good and evil, up and down, yin and yang, etc… life is a crazy rollercoaster and this rollercoaster is precisely what Pino desires to capture in his work. Ross Pino is known for his skulls and skeletons that have a very playful energy, but also he has a childlike brushstroke that complements the sometimes to heavy conceptual thought provoking aspect to his work. Needless to say Ross Pino’s work is very Rock & Roll and counter culture.
Artist statement: Being a part of the You Are Not Alone mural project was extra special for me because I could express myself freely and confidently. It was an absolute pleasure to be around and work with like minded creative individuals who love and respect mental health. I hold mental health as high as anything I value in my life if not higher. Mental health dictates how we move and function in the real world, and I feel it should be more talked about and treated with respect. I love being apart of You Are Not Alone Mural project.
