"Claytattoos is an international tattoo artist based in Texas, specializing in Black & Gray and Greek Mythology. With studies in graphic design and architecture, it was through a friend that he discovered the world of tattooing more than ten years ago. From the very first moment, he was completely captivated. He was fascinated by the idea of bringing his drawings to life and the challenge of permanently transferring them onto the skin. From the beginning, he knew this was his path. With over 10 years of experience, he has perfected his technique, merging precision and art in every piece. His style is characterized by a Neoclassical approach, where the central pieces are works of Greek mythology or Renaissance paintings. He seeks to incorporate writings from art books, achieving that ancient sketch look, fused with influences from graphic arts and architecture. Through his artistic approach, he creates unique works that symbolize a story for each client. Originating from Los Teques, Venezuela, his passion for art led him to develop a unique style. His work redefines the aesthetics of contemporary tattooing, combining narrative depth with impeccable execution. Throughout his career, he has collaborated with great artists and Renowned art studios, been awarded for his specialty, and has had the privilege of being part of Pro Teams and having the support of sponsors who, with their innovation and technology, have constantly driven his career. This year, he will take his knowledge to the next level by leading an exclusive private seminar in Dallas, Texas, featuring works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. He will share his technique and vision closely with other artists, then continue with his participation as a Judge at one of the biggest conventions in USA, the Sinner Tattoo Expo, and exhibit his work at the New York Empire State Tattoo Expo, The All Stars Tattoo Convention, Golden State Tattoo Expo, among others throughout the year."
