About the Artist/FAQ

About the Artist:

John de Mars is a lifelong explorer of art, rooted in the creative soil of Seattle. His artistic journey is fueled by a passion to study the masters of yesteryear, skillfully weaving their techniques and concepts into the fabric of his own distinctive and powerful creations. As an entrepreneur with the heart of an athlete, de Mars approaches each canvas with the same vigor and determination that he does his pursuits outside the studio.

He is known for his versatility, with a repertoire that spans from the innovative PXLSM style—a unique fusion of digital pixelation and classical impressionism—to the fluid spontaneity of abstracts. Whether working on personal pieces that resonate with the vibrancy of life or collaborating with collectors to bring their visions to life, John's work is a dialogue between history and modernity. His art is not just seen; it is felt, a testament to his belief in the transformative power of art.
