About the Artist Troy Damien Burgess Troy is a Barbadian self-taught visual artist. Born in Barbados on the 28th March 1983. From an early age he possessed a keen interest in art, as his older brother was a student of the great Barbadian artist Karl Broodhagen and Troy often felt as though he too were one of his students. Although he considers himself a self-taught artist, he enrolled in a short program with a local Community Art Program where he gained formal training in art and illustration, graphic designing and airbrushing. Troy has consistently participated in national arts festivals and exhibitions since 2004 where he has copped several awards. Maturing as an artist Troy has found a deep appreciation for acrylics, he continuously experiments with the medium and styles. Seeing beauty in any subject, he has no preference in what he paints; he just allows freedom of movement and imagination to give his paintings its own personality and life.
