“My art is the result of an ongoing search for drive and adventure—an exploration of emotions through spontaneous, unfiltered expression.”

Ross’s artistic vision is deeply influenced by the genre of Gonzo art, a style that reflects his personal philosophy of embracing the unknown and surrendering to the flow of life. In his early 20's, Ross ventured across Europe, hitchhiking and trekking through mountains and forests. During these formative years, he discovered the works of Jack Kerouac and Hunter S. Thompson, whose fearless narratives of immersion in chaos and discovery became a source of inspiration. What resonated with him most was their ability to throw themselves into unknown situations and transmute their experiences into raw, passionate, and often manic prose, written in the heat of the moment.
This sense of adventure and relentless pursuit of experience deeply influenced Ross’s approach to art. His works are often created in the immediate aftermath of intense moments, fueled by powerful emotions and heightened states of mind. For Ross, each piece is a direct response to the thrill of the unknown and the desire to capture that raw, fleeting energy before it slips away. It is this spontaneity and emotional intensity that defines his work—a celebration of the chaotic beauty of life, movement, and self-expression.
