The mystery of da Vinci, the emotion of Bacon, the 3-dimensional cubism of Picasso, the sadness of Kahlo, the imaginary concept of Dali, the playfulness of Miro, are the inspiration and influence behind the artist Bobit Segismundo’s works. As an artist, how can one fail to be touched by these masters?

Bobit uses some of the masters’ elements, projections and approach and incorporates them into his works. The result is emotional, strong, intriguing and amusing but most of all, bearing his own stamp of identity.  The use of cross-hatching method plus an occasional touch of pointillism coming from the tip of ink pens show the interaction and thick layering of lines. The artist creates an almost solid rendering of elements and projects his visual ideas with just red, blue and black producing a somber dark result that identifies his work.
