Journey of an Artist Series
The BODO Story This talent has seemingly appeared from no where, and the limits of creativity and mediums appear to have no bounds. Bodo raises the scale both in size and level of detail; from first attempt as a canvas painter to a year later teaching himself digital design, photogrammetry, creating some of Canada’s most unique augmented reality art works.

ODO is heralded as a canvas painter, sculpture, set designer, music video producer, fashion icon, fashion maker, digital wizard, all while keeping the look of his singular, innovative style.
Just as his physical paintings are spectacular in the day, Bodo has incorporated into every painting a "fluorescent capability" with a truly immersive experience. The painting glows in spectacular amazement once the "black light" fluorescent light hits the canvas. Surely a unique bonus for his clients and an exciting new service for events and clubs a like.
Completely self-taught, with no formal schooling, Bodo has only recently (within the last 4 years) discovered his capabilities in the arts. It took a very personally troubling series of events that ignited an unrelenting pursuit of passion-driven art.
