“Life is more important than art. That is why art is important.” - James Baldwin

About the Artist, DorianTroy.

My personal affinity for art has taken shape over time. From drawing comic books of black superheroes with my best friend in my childhood North Carolina home to creating intimate series pieces as an adult, art has always been my outlet of expression and sharing myself with the world. Now, as an adult artist living in Washington D.C., I have found an affinity for digital illustration, screenwriting and creative directing that has fueled my passion for art and therefore, life.

As an artist, I hope to create pieces that connect the unconnected and provide a voice to the unheard. From statement collections surrounding black masculinity, to queer representation in short films, I hope that all of my pieces inspire an emotion that sparks a change in how we view society and ourselves to one of truth, positivity and love. This is a space where you can see a gallery of my current work and find ways for you to make your own statement on this earth through my artistry.

Hi, my name is DorianTroy, and I would love to welcome you to our world.
