Every artworkbegins with a story.

I have witnessed Darbles Bloom, he has grown up with me. He has gone from new artist, to a confident and charismatic human with a strong sense of love for life. Please support this man.

When I saw Darbles art I instantly fell in love and had to own some of his incredible art.

Whenever I see Darbles' art, I sense something that tells me, somehow, that it's his work. I don't think he's trying to do anything particularly unusual, so that individuality must just naturally shine through. Or is it just me?

I collect Darbles' work because of how he blends so many stories into a single piece, and the sheer cleanliness of the design system he's built sets him apart from other artists. You always know it's his piece the moment you're looking at it. Beyond the work itself, his kindness and genuine care for the space and the people in it, including me, are what keep me coming back.

Darbles is one of those artists that you've really got to give yourself more than 3 seconds to appreciate. Yes, he creates phenomenal imagery that captivates the eye but, it's the subtle meaning behind those works that stirs emotions you might not have gotten in touch with recently.

Met Darbles this year around May; a couple of months of short conversations and interactions led to a connection through art. His 365 days of Blue intrigued me — the dedication, the vision. With art, as with anything, everything has its time if allowed. Each piece in this collection gave me a new perspective as time passed. Darbles' art is versatile with no restraint attached — just raw art.

The Face Beneath the Face feels like a quiet confrontation. The hand holds up the colourful, still-living face — the version of ourselves we present — directly in front of the skull, and the skull just looks back, like it's been waiting. It isn't saying death wins; it's asking whether you can still recognise yourself once the performance is gone. Most work about masks leans soft or goes full horror. This one sits in a sharper middle ground. The image does the work on its own.

Darbles has always been a kind soul, and a community-driven person in the space. Have known him for quite some time now, and he is an amazing spirit to have here.

When I look at your art, it feels like a visual representation of the mindsets people experience at different points in life. I purchased Face Beneath the Face because it resonated with me during a period of emotional discovery, both within myself and in the people around me. It was one of the most beautiful yet ugly experiences I've ever had to go through. Your art appeared at exactly the right moment, and it spoke to something I couldn't ignore. I had no choice but to invest.

I am arrested by the emotional power, nuance, depth, artistry, and breadth of the Shades of Blue collection by Darbles. My soul tingles whenever I spend time with Shades of Blue — it is packed with truths that only art at its best can express. So I am really looking forward to Bloom, eager to experience what comes next.

I have loved being on hundreds of X Spaces with Darbles and love his positive attitude and the support he gives others. I have collected lots of his amazing art for many years now!

Dark. Intense. Unmatched. Inspiring. Exciting. Joyful. Challenging. Admiration and deep awe. These are some emotions one can feel with Darbles' amazing work. Bravo!
