The Chillitary

Tevin Nanfito

It all started when…

A young man decided to take what started as a half hearted joke as a serious decision. Back when The Chillitary was but a fledgling idea to make and sell tie dye there was a vision that there could be more…

My upbringing was one that consumed and enjoyed art in many forms, and while there was an emphasis on appreciation for the artists and creators, I never personally explored or dabbled in creation. I spent many years taking in the wonders of nature and have a strong connection to the forests and oceans especially. As I matured and created bonds with others that were exploring their own creative passions I began to try my hand at the different arts. Music and multimedia art resonated with me deeply. As such the years passed, to which I dabbled in anything I could get my hands on, finding solace in cinematography while adding new techniques and styles to my repertoire. I still continue to learn and grow to this day and have no intention of ever letting up.

My style can be described as macabre with a slight emphasis on surrealism and altered perspective. I do not have a favorite medium and instead choose to draw from many styles and techniques because I personally lust for an amalgamation of texture, color, and emotion.
