An inter-disciplinary artist, specializing in abstract portraiture and other topics of art, generated from photos of myself/body or everyday objects as muse. I generate artworks from these images, through technological assisted software. Once the digital design is complete, I then use the design as reference and create the artwork I desire, with Charcoal, Graphite, Pen and Ink and Acrylic to highlight social justice. My art is for a purpose and proceeds are allocated to The Lady Isabel Foundation for their outreach and philanthropic endeavors. Visit my website: https://caelthorne.art/ for more information.
Monochrome Rainbow (Triptych, 2025)
Mixed Media on Fabriano Paper | Caelthorne
From Caelthorne: "This triptych was indeed one of the most personal and emotional artworks that I've produced to date. With the narrative, the story behind each face and the message I wish to portray has been a journey of vulnerability and re-discovering myself through art. I hope that at least one of these piece will touch your soul, for just a split second!"

A contrast between life as we know it, and a distortion of what we think the world should look like. This portfolio is deeply personal, and explore topics of trauma, depression, the past and memory. The artworks of this collection, speaks to our individual definition and the misguided understanding that we are defined by our pasts. We are human, the past is the past. However, the architect of the future is the same person which past is a haunting memory. The challenge comes down to dealing and never leaving the past, or self-forgiveness and a future you can control?

There are times when life pulls you into such agony that you lose sight of your former completeness and the fact that you had a name before the war and the silence.

I Slipped and Fell” is a visual memorial to the unspoken stories told by bruised faces and broken spirits. It recalls the haunting phrase we were forced to repeat as children — a distortion of truth wrapped in fear.
