Dino Pearl

Hi:) I’m Dino. I was born in Chicago, but I grew up in Linz, Austria. After changing schools a few times I ended up moving to Vienna by myself at the age of 14. I attended an Animation and Media Design college. There I lived for almost three years, and although I loved the school and had amazing teachers, I realized the assignments we had felt very creatively limiting. When I eventually moved back to my hometown Linz, I rediscovered my passion for fine arts.

As an artist, my work represents two very specific feelings that have always been present in my life. There’s that feeling of having too much going on in your head until it becomes overwhelming, and the different dissociative states that make you feel like you’re not even here. My creativity manifests from those places. I want to document my creative journey as honestly as possible. Many people have told me that I need to find my style and make it recognizable. I’m still young and figuring myself out. My life has always felt chaotic, therefore I believe this kind of nature reflects what you could call my style. Art is a way for me to visualize the chaos that goes on in my mind. My creativity is chaotic. That is my style. Welcome to my creative chaos.
