Mark Ryden
Mark Ryden, an American painter, a figure of the Hollywood scene, who has recently gained a lot of notoriety as one of the favorite plastic artists of several stars, including: Di Caprio and Katy Perry.
He is not a newcomer, having developed a consistent career since the 80s, rubbing shoulders with famous singers and writers. In this field, he even designed one of the most famous album covers of all time, "Dangerous" by Michael Jackson himself.
The style of this painter is marked by its closeness to the eerie and macabre, personally, I don’t like the aesthetic he proposes, but it's curious how the demand for such peculiar works has increased among American artists. So much so that he even got an article in the New York Times.
