Ross Pino is a Brooklyn based artist. Having grown up with alcohol and drug addicted parents, his main objective in life has become to set people free from destructive mindsets. He is an advocate for mental health awareness through arts and entertainment.
In 2018, Pino began his journey as an artist by painting skulls. His daughter would paint with him. Her free creative spirit began to affect his paintings, eventually combining with his own edginess and skill.
Pino describes his art as shining light into the darkness. His work combines human anatomy, “End of Days” theories, numerical synchronicities and emotionally driven poetry. While at times his work is dark, there is a heavy spiritual underling throughout.
