Rory van Dokkum is a freelance artist, writer and illustrator, recently graduated from Waterford Institute of Technology and currently working in Waterford City. Throughout his life he has been fascinated by the surreal and the fantastical, exploring a great many subjects in those areas and subsequently incorporating them into his work - whether it be the themes and narratives of mythology, the imagery found in dreams or the stranger side of the natural world. His artwork focuses primarily on twisting and reshaping the human form, creating figures with both familiar and utterly alien aspects.
