Visionary with a dream.
Patrick Paul (Øtto) is a visual artist, illustrator, & photographer based in Southern CT
I started creating art back in 2019 out of a desire to express myself and my ideas in ways I hadn’t before.
Fast forward to today & I’m pursuing what I love, something that encourages me to indulge my creativity and display them on a digital canvas.
A journey of personal growth.
Making art is my superpower
Early in adulthood I rediscovered my love for art. In the beginning, I never showed my artwork except to a few select people. Even then I was hesitant because I was afraid of being judged. Once I took the steps to put myself out there, showing more people my art and to an extent, myself, more opportunities presented themselves to me.
Through finding inner peace, I have learned to accept my mind & myself. I have embraced my craft, to a point where it is an extension of who I am. It’s brought me to areas of personal growth I wouldn’t have ventured into if I hadn’t taken that first step.
My art style.
“Whoa!” “This is trippy!” “Looks like a dream.”
These are just a few direct quotes from some friends & colleagues I showed my art to in the beginning. I used to struggle to find the right words to describe my art to people who hadn’t seen it before.
My art style centers around a blend of Figurative Surrealism & Maximalism. I use Photoshop to combine images to create vivid, imaginative scenes and scenarios that defy realism and challenge perspectives.
