Jamaal Malik Moore
Jamaal Malik is an autodidactic, multidisciplinary artist whose talent spans across a range of mediums including painting, digital media, photography, and film.
MessageComing from an artistic background, he began his creative journey in 2006 while studying digital design at a community college in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. From there he went on to serve in the United States Navy for five years before returning to civilian life in pursuit of creativity.
At age 30, after years of focusing on digital mediums, Jamaal felt a strong urge to paint and acted upon it. What ensued next was the opening of a new world of canvas and color as he entered into a totally unknown realm marked by higher levels of self-awareness and self-expression.
In a rare turn of events, he recognized the call to dedicate himself to his unique gifting and embarked upon a lifelong pursuit of self-discovery and the creation of beauty.
Statement
My name, Jamaal, simply means beautiful. As an artist, I seek to create meaning and beauty in my work while making the world a better place.
My ultimate goal is to bring about positive change by enlightening, inspiring, and influencing people to examine their actions, thoughts, and behavior toward themselves and others.
Capturing the human essence is central to my creative process. I draw from my own cultural background (influences/inspirations) as I share my unique view of the energies that have shaped my personal outlook.
Alongside remembering the past, I seek to reimagine and re-envision a future based on positive potential. Creativity gives us the power to create our reality. It is our gift and responsibility to use it wisely.
I combine methods from multiple styles to create new work. Figurative realism has become a pillar in the foundation of my artistic perspective.
In contrast, I often employ abstract techniques that allow subconscious freedom to enter my process, which provides a balance to the calculated tenacity required to achieve realism.
No matter how I evolve I will not rest in the relentless pursuit of creativity as I answer the call to express my highest self.
