Minimalistic surreal blackwork tattoos
Jonas moved to Preston in the UK from sunny Portugal to get his art degree at the University of Lancashire. After graduating there he decided to come to Amsterdam with already pretty killer skills and a strange Bri-ish/Portuguese accent.
He solely works with black ink and shuns colour. A great deal of his inspiration comes from ancient Japanese culture and art and equally from manga comics. His work relies significantly on linework and solid black parts. Nevertheless it is never heavy or dense, instead it feels open and minimal.
Small areas of stippled shading give his designs a subtle hint of dept and body. Jonas works in a wide variety of subjects and themes and there is not a lot that he doesn’t enjoy drawing. Moreover he does not shy away from a challenge. In fact he fully embraces them as he feels testing his ability will improve his craft.
What makes his tattoos so recognisable is his expressive style that shows a lot of variation in textures and all the while keeping it readable and crystal clear. Overall, you can say the execution of his work shows a lot of attention to details and contains the mystical, surreal feel of old world illustrative art.
