From Roman Mythology to the Hollywood Golden Age, from 1950s retro to Cyberpunk.

Jinndow aka John Dicandia  has it all covered. His range of work is spellbinding and the techniques he uses are considered by some as traditional but he has employed his own unmistakable style with a twist. There is a subtle hint of eccentricity which is not immediately apparent, and there is an underlying sinister darkness which lurks in almost every piece.

John has been drawing and painting as far back as he can remember, probably about the same time the Jackson 5 won the amateur comp at the Apollo, Woodstock and the moon landing, which he vaguely remembers watching on his black & white TV.

John may live in a world of fantasy and make believe but he is still very much in tune with his environment and draws inspiration from everyday existence. Apart from the fine arts, he is an avid reader especially inspired by characters in history and classical literature only fuelled his imagination.

Combined with his love affair with cinema and contemporary music, he incorporate elements of each genre into his illustrations and paintings.
