The Founder of Our Group: Solomon Barroa and His Art

Unique and Extraordinary by Solomon Barroa

In his biography, Solomon Barroa states: "I am a digital artist currently focusing on surrealism, fantasy, and fractal abstract art."

Much of Mr. Barroa's work is statement-oriented as well, particularly when it comes to the human condition. Here is the perfect example:

The Disintegration of Human Values by Solomon Barroa
available for sale HERE

About this piece, Solomon Barroa writes: "Human values can disintegrate due to factors such as technology and mental disorders. These values are rooted during periods of growth and development. Thus it can be modified, changed or disinherited upon age as environmental influences empowers an individual. The disintegrating figure in this surreal artwork represents or symbolizes human values."

Solomon Barroa has spent a lot of his time in the nursing profession and is a book author (many of which have 5-star reviews!). Follow the link to the Amazon page where you can find his books. At the end of his Amazon biography he states: "We are born without built-in mental content and that their knowledge and ideas are developed from experience and perception about events and the environment."

Solomon has two separate shops. These include:

Before the War by Solomon Barroa

In Before War, he also has something philosophical to say about his piece:

War is a time where extreme power is exercised. Communities go into battle for rights and conquer. Killings and survival prevail. Such emotions also prevail among the affected either victorious or defeated. The knight and his lover in this fantasy photo manipulation exemplify such emotions.

The following art work depicting a lover's quarrel between two fantasy art figures is unique in concept, especially in our particular niche of art. His statement about the piece is:

Being in love can sometimes have conflicts and petty quarrels. It usually occurs in diverse relationships with cultural differences, incompatible lifestyle choices, hard personality, and other differences. The argument between two flying creatures in this artwork represents lover's quarrel.
