Artist Statement
Middletown, DE | ronaldaepurnell@gmail.com
What does it mean to be righteous? Since the initial breath of human creation, creative innovations in the realm of self-expression has set off a chain reaction of mass influence.
As an individual, I’m very aware of my outward expression just as much as my inward introspection. Over the years, my work has developed through the cultivation of my spiritual beliefs. My choice of amalgamating human experience and spiritual wisdom with my artistic practice comes to no surprise. Christianity has consistently been involved in my spiritual upbringing. It wasn’t until my early twenty’s that I began to view spirituality and the world of humanity as one. I realized that the wisdom and knowledge I had gained through research reveals proof of events that transcends the basic understanding of human society. Domination, defamation, bloodlines, half-truths, and misjudgment are all playing a role with how humans have come to understand one another; along with the world we all share. My creative facet lends itself to reveal this topic to the world.
I’ve been regarded by individuals who meet me as “the modern day renaissance man.” Wisdom of numerous topics encompassed within me are revealed in my subject matter. Specifically, I’m drawn to storytelling that emphasizes the truth; as it relates to spiritual and human truths. Traditional mediums like pencil, paper, and ink are my foundation, but as of late, I’ve been heavily drawn to digital illustration and digital animation due to the unlimited potential of stories, characters, and world building. My journey of idea generation began at a very early age, though one story that has stuck with me is called Arisen.

​
From here my goals remain the same. I’ll persistently seek out the truth, while peeling away the veil of secrets this world has oversaturated and blinded from the public eye. My intention isn’t to become some legend or “goat”. As an individual of righteousness, I would rather give all the glory to the Most High than receive it for myself as he’s the one guiding to the answers of the greatest mystery of humankind.
