There's room for every type of artist and every type of art. Nonrealistic and realistic, everyone deserves that platform to express themselves and their style.
He discovered his passion for the arts, at nine years old. He always sat at the table in the kitchen, drawing, while all the other kids were outside playing.

Over the years, his craft started to develop, improving more and more.
Jon'te expresses himself through his unique style by using a variety of acrylic paints. His art ranges in subject matter from nature to portraits; animals to humans; abstract to spiritual.
In addition to painting, Jon'te is also a writer. His passion for writing was discovered later in life. To showcase his work, he created his blog in 2010 (link below), on WordPress, which has all his writings.
