The art of GOMAD is considered a pinnacle of post-neo graffitism, the fusion of photorealistic images in a mind-bending surrealistic setup. Combining organic and graphic compositions with old Dutch masters influences, done in a vibrant and unique idiosyncratic way. GOMAD artistic passion has been fostered by nature and people in addition to aspects of street art.
