Hello,

Thank you for visiting my website. My name is Freddy. I’m a visual artist who explores the interplay between image and sound. My goal is to create multidisciplinary visual art that blends visual imagery and music, where rhythm, form, feeling, and emotion converge.

My artistic journey began with a high school photography class photo-gram assignment, which ignited my passion for art (see Untitled Photogram, 1976). I pursued an art major in high school and later earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the State University of New York at Oswego.

Since earning a BFA degree, my creative horizons have expanded to include new media, electronic music, and digital tools. I seamlessly integrate these elements with traditional materials, creating bold and abstract pieces that express the energy and emotion of music through visual form. As an expressionist, rhythm, texture, and improvisation are integral to my creative process. Each piece I create is a visual echo of sound, shaped by an intuitive workflow where art and music constantly inspire and influence each other.

“I’m a visual artist who explores the interplay between image and sound.”

Music has been a constant companion throughout my artistic journey. However, it wasn’t until 2010 that I began composing and playing electronic music. Before that, I used to create mix-tapes to accompany my artwork. Today, my electronic music serves as both inspiration and complement to my visual art. Each beat and synth line influences the movement and emotional impact of my works.

Listen to my music. One early piece, “Shade,” is at its best when played loud —click the player and raise the volume.

I’m currently based in Atlanta and create my works at Art Studio Intermix, a multimedia art studio I founded in 1984. This platform allows me to push my creative boundaries and explore new ideas. I invite you to explore my artwork and other projects on my website.

Best regards,

Freddy
