Demitrius Omphroy is a former professional soccer player turned artist. His art over the years has been compared to the works of Picasso and Matisse. "I’d describe my work as playful, expressive, and simplistic, yet loaded with emotion. I try to evoke feeling from my color palette but have a simplified way of depicting figures that represent experiences in my life. A lot of the times my work is impulsive and unplanned, which has become a really intentional way of creating what I’m feeling at the exact moment. My mantra as an artist is that “finding our own voice requires unlearning things we were taught in school and re-learning how to think like kids again.”My playful, expressive style was born from me trying to re-learn how to think like I did back when I was four years old – back to my purest mind state of creativity." -Demit Omphroy
