DEBO’s Art brings us to unforeseen heights of excitement and Bends all Boundaries. There seems to be a message in DEBO’s ART and that is the Danger of walking the fine line between tempestuous primordial chaos and reflective composure. DEBO’s style will take you in- to a world of discovery and inspiration where we may even meditate on- our own -mortality. The boldness, brilliant treatment of colors, will enhance our appreciation and perception of clarity inherent on each canvas.
After years of experimenting and pursuing a style that was his own, DEBO was able to ascertain a way to express his artistic outlook of deeply symbolic stories brought to life with mystic rhythms of the past; this was created with oil, acrylic and metal color effect on canvas. During this time, DEBO traveled extensively through Europe, Africa, Asia and the great South Pacific. These travels enhanced his expertise and influenced the many creative elements that are introduced into the composition of DEBO’s Artwork.
Beneath the mystery of DEBO’s Art is an aura of serendipity, as we explore the dreamlike mode and sensuality of each piece, finding deeper themes as we delve into its inner truth. DEBO was -born in Hannover, Germany. It was at -the early age of 5 that DEBO showed a unique artistic ability and a delicate charm that would manifest itself during - his life. Amongst the turmoil of post-war Germany, this prodigy struggled to keep his passion for art alive. The first efforts of his pre-teen years were sketches on paper in Black and White and, Charcoal.
In 2005 DEBO started the Abstract concept and had several successful exhibition in the USA. Discover the hidden elements in these art pieces. Open your mind and let your fantasy guide you through a world of emotions.
He focused on sketching people in various profiles. At age, 15, DEBO had an exhibition in his hometown of Hannover, Germany and was highly acclaimed and recognized by critics and artists alike, as an upcoming artist that showed genius in his approach and technique. At the age of 17, DEBO moved to Berlin and later attended the University of Berlin. DEBO frequently went to museums and attended several workshops, one in particular found himself sitting, next to World Famous German Modern
In life there are many twists and turns and after a chance meeting with the Dalai Lama. DEBO found that this experience had a profound impact on him, so much so, that DEBO was ready to make the commitment to present to the World his message of ART. DEBO’s creative clarity is without question. He has a great passion for liberating the subconscious and bringing out the emotion in his Artwork. In life we- can only learn from our experience, and DEBO has gone the distance. So sit back, relax and enjoy a truly life-giving experience, close your eyes and now imagine a peaceful State of Mind.
Artist Joseph Beuys who inspired DEBO to pursue his own art and to exhibit his work in galleries in Berlin.
