justin lovato

Born in 1986 in Northern California, Justin Lovato is a self-taught artist who found his passion and artistic home in boundary-pushing styles that range from Optical Art to Surrealist.

Lovato is inspired by the purest art forms found in nature – patterns, bifurcating ratios of plant growth, or clouds creating light swirling sunset skies.

His connection to nature is undeniable in his work. From living in the lush mountainous terrain of western Washington to the rolling hills of the western Sierra Nevada in Northern California, his work cultivates an aesthetic appreciation and concern for the natural world.

Lovato also draws inspiration from Optical Art, successfully using techniques that create abstract juxtapositions of shapes and forms to create the illusion of movement. His use of pattern and color are mere vehicles for transporting the viewer across vortexes that pierce the very fabric of life – all through a delicate motif of perfectly still, yet rapidly moving patterns of cumulus clouds and otherworldly geometric shapes.

Lovato has been featured in numerous galleries in the U.S. and internationally. He has been featured online and in print publications such as Hi-Fructose, Juxtapoz, Booooom, and GrafittiArt magazines.
