AquaSixio

Cyril Rolando (AquaSixio or Six Inside) is a digital media artist that lives in France and works as a clinical psychologists. Drawing, for him, is a hobby. He uses colors over anatomic notions to expresses emotions. He started learning how to create digital artwork in 2003 and has grown over the years. For AquaSixio drawing is a form of therapy.   

 

For his work I see colors, many shapes, and a minute attention to detail. He picks color over quality and I think that is perfectly alright. AquaSixio’s use of different shades of colors ranging from the lightest to the darkest colors are mixed onto the page in a way so that the viewer does not see it transitioning from color to color, they all blend together rather nicely but still stand out when needed.   

These drawings are beautiful. I first came across his work two years ago when I first joined Tumblr and I was floored. The way he uses colors, animals, and ‘lost children’ (as he likes to call them) really touches me. When I look at his art work I feel what the characters in the piece feel. The colors chosen really allow ones mind to get sucked in and feel something. His artwork can make me cry and I think that is beautiful, being able to take someone on a journey like that. He doesn’t think of himself as an artist but if I were to actually become an artist I would want my art to be like his. 

On his site he also has a retrospection of the past 8 years. through this you can see him grow and really become the artist he is today.
