GOMAD is a color-blind Dutch artist, born in 1972 in Sittard, a city located in the southern Netherlands on the border with Germany and Belgium, where he grew in a unique blend of cultures and influences, and still resides today.
Heavily influenced by the iconic film 'Beat Street' and the graffiti documentary 'Style Wars,' GOMAD played a pioneering role and actively participated in the Southern Dutch graffiti scene from the early 80s. His studies and Bachelor of Arts from the local art school helped him refine and develop his unique style, often described as "a pinnacle of post-neo graffitism." GOMAD's work features photorealistic images set against cubist and organic shapes, creating mind-bending, surrealistic scenes. His approach to composition is reminiscent of Picasso or Hieronymus Bosch. GOMAD combines oil, acrylic, and spray paints in a vibrant and idiosyncratic manner.
His post-graffiti urban art murals and paintings can be found across the world, from the Netherlands to Belgium, Germany, France, England, Italy, Croatia, Ireland, Sweden, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, and all the way to the United States and Australia.
