Artist Spotlight: Pixiebat_Art

Pixiebat_Art is an artist with a journey as unique as their artwork. Raised by military parents, their life was a series of relocations across Europe and the United States. This constant movement gave them a rich cultural perspective, which now fuels their creativity in Olympia, their new home.

Inspired by Masters

Pixiebat_Art finds inspiration in both historical and contemporary artists. "I am inspired by masters, living and dead," they explain. This drive to reach the heights of their idols motivates them to hone their craft. Influences like Masahiro Ito, Ayami Kojima, and Artemisia Gentileschi have profoundly impacted their artistic development.

Visual Storytelling

A hallmark of Pixiebat_Art’s work is their focus on visual storytelling. They use their art to convey deep emotions and personal experiences. "One of my favorite things about art in every medium is the way it can make me feel seen," they share. Their goal is for viewers to connect with and understand the emotions behind each piece.

A Love for Baroque Art

The Baroque period holds a special place in Pixiebat_Art’s heart. They are particularly inspired by Artemisia Gentileschi, an influential artist from that era. "It's strange to understand so heavily someone who was alive 400 years ago, but it just proves how eternal art is," they reflect. This connection underscores the timeless nature of their work.
