“I really enjoy seeing a project through from conception to completion. I also enjoy experimenting with paint on canvas using strong lines to depict landscapes and structures; I really enjoy playing around with the vivid colors that acrylics offer and the fluid feel of paints… a good contrast to the more structured, technical side of architectural drawing,” the artist shared on his personal website.

According to Borrett, some people find his spaces claustrophobic, while others want to linger inside them. “I enjoy the combination of the creepy and the whimsical,” he admits. “Perhaps this boils down to wanting my drawings to be haunted in the same way that my dreams locales often feel haunted.”

With almost 13k followers on Instagram, Borrett has made a name for himself both online and offline, working as an illustrator as well as an environment/concept artist in the film and TV industry.

“I hesitate to talk about how much dreams inspire my work, since its almost a cliché and boring to listen to, but it can’t be understated,” he says, talking about his sources of inspiration. “There’s a kind of magic vitality there that’s almost impossible to put into words, and images can only hint at it. So yes, its possible to read a lot into the work psychologically speaking.”

But aside from being a product of his dreams, his artwork is also the outcome of a lifelong obsession with Legos, hay forts, and computers. “I was born in 1972 and grew up in rural Ontario,” he writes on his website. “I was fortunate to have a big ancient barn to play in. Despite an acute allergy to hay, I would build elaborate hay forts. There were woods and beaver ponds nearby to explore. During those weeks of the summer when too much pollen was about, I’d retreat to my room where I would draw, build elaborate things out of lego, and make primitive computer graphics on my Commodore 64.”

Enter his fantasy worlds.

This talented artist emphasizes the “play of light and dark” in his works, while using rich pallets of color and including numerous subtle details that contribute to the distinct appeal of his paintings. Some of the recurring motifs in Lushin’s artworks include snowy landscapes, streets falling into fog, and buildings covered in evening lights. 

“It’s a different state of mind with each painting, but I always completely immerse myself into the time, place and subject of my art” – Lushpin says about his work.
