He thinks that Art is very important to see things in a different light and let people have their own take on it. When it comes to choose a favorite artist it’s difficult for Colin to choose just one, but like a lot of the old masters, big bright pop art.

However big artist you are you like to see others work. So Colin prefers sometimes to visit the National gallery in Dublin, or any place, and likes to see public art, murals, street art. One of the paintings he has done is of Richard hills, which won at ascot races, it is on canvas 5ft x 4ft is one of his favorite work he has done so far. For now, he is working on “A canvas of Arnie“.

Always ready to help, he extends his hands for local artist if needed.

Other than painting his favorite time passes are travel, music, sports, and walking.A self made artist believes that people would be surprised to know that he never got any training  apart from an airbrush course in 2010 with Simon murray in Ballymena, NI. For him art is something created by hand that is enjoyed by others and can bring out a reaction and emotion.For aspiring artist he says”enjoy, practice and try different types styles till you get your own”

Craziness Of Xaviness by Heylos

Originally from Hyperspace,XAVI grew up in the Washington DC metro area. At age 12, he discovered and became obsessed with Graffiti Art. This fresh new art form, would be Xavi's primary influence for years to come. Underground rap music was the soundtrack for these times, and skateboarding was the scene.
In the early 90's, Xavi found techno music and the DC / Baltimore rave culture. Cutting-edge computer graphics, and the exotic graphic designs of rave flyers added a powerful futuristic flavor to the visual mix.
 . 
Ecstatic dance-floor experiences inspired new thematic directions, and ideas like paradise, eternity, and synesthesia began to emerge.1996 marked a great shift, when Xavi and his Family moved to Arizona. 
The monumental rock architectures and lush canyons of northern Arizona were Xavi’s gateway into the ultimate design science: Nature. From here on, the living patterns, shapes, forms and colors of nature would be Xavi's greatest teacher.
Along with nature, the art of indigenous cultures such as the pacific northwest Native Americans, and Australian Aborigines were influential.

For many years Xavi has been a leader in the global Visionary Art movement, creating large multi-media installations, murals, fashions, and fine art at venues, galleries and festivals around the world.
