About the Art
Adrian's work is created from an intricate blending of digital and film photography, scanned objects, video stills, and illustrative effects within Photoshop. Inspirations for his art include history, spirituality, carnality, psychology, mythology, and nature, with distinctly pagan, gothic, erotic, and fantasy themes.

Adrian Welch presents his viewers with a series of dreamscape vistas straight from the gothic depths of the subconscious. As seductive as a lie you truly want to believe, here is art fashioned from the beauty of the human mind, that instrument so capable of contrariness and evil.
