About AJ Bartoletti
To know yourself and accept yourself can be one of life’s greatest challenges. But what I do know about myself is that I have a gift for creating and that art has always been my main passion. Ever since I could pick up a crayon I would draw, and at a young age I dreamt of being a comic book artist. As my teenage years went by I picked up playing guitar, and music quickly became another major influence on my life. Upon graduating high school I went to a local community college for Art/Graphic Design. I disliked the program, failed my first year, and switched my academic focus to the Recoding Arts and to Music. Within a few years I had 2 degrees in the Recording Arts (Full Sail University) and 1 in Music Business (Full Sail University) and a job at a major audio production house in NYC (HSR|NY). In 2011 I moved back to my hometown of Wilkes-Barre, Pa. settled into a house and starting working for my Grandfathers business in HVAC. During this time I put together a professional home recording studio, played in bands, taught myself piano, and networked with local artists. In 2019 I began questioning my life, and purpose. I started reading a lot of books, and listening to a lot of Alan Watts. Somewhere in my readings I discovered sacred geometry and it instantly struck a chord. After 13yrs of not drawing I picked the pencil back up and started drawing geometry at work during my downtime. When Covid19 hit the United States, I got laid off from work and found myself with a lot of time on my hands; so I started drawing for hours a day. Shorty after without any expectation, my art got noticed. Over a short course of a few months I have done art for restaurants, sold commissioned works, and have received recognition globally from businesses, artists, and fans. I have recently been asked to have my work featured in galleries, and am in the process of designing a clothing line and doing album art. 3 of my greatest influences are Rafael Araujo, Daniel Martin Diaz, and Andy Gilmore. Working with artists is something I love to do and would love to continue to do. I hope to inspire others and be inspired in return. My name is A.J. Bartoletti and this my journey, I would love for you to be a part of it. Thank you.
