In 2014, Storm's signature figures came to fruition, and clients voiced them as "cool." As they evolved into a motif, their name was undeniable: The Cool People. Spirits around you, people in your head, or souls within you; they are whatever you want them to be. Each person is completely unique; never one like the other.
As an ambidextrous painter, using the right hand for structure, and left hand for emotion, The Cool People are birthed. The figures often have emptiness within their bodies, representing unfulfilled qualities all humans share. The head lines are essential to their being, symbolizing divinity and reminiscent of chapeaus. Each one is unique, just like people are. Watch the origin video of The Cool People to see the organic nature of their creation.
Classic black-and-white paintings of The Cool People on artisan paper and canvas are the artist's most popular custom order. Once framed, the works are an elegant addition to home decor.
In fine art paintings, The Cool People transform with use of color, structure, and texture. As developed main characters in the surrealist stories, the compositions are orchestrated by their soulful presence. As expressionistic storytellers, they stylistically evolve in detailed landscapes. The figures inherently embody strong feminine energy, but for the artist, The Cool People represent all people.
Variations on The Cool People appear in Storm's work with the mimicking of foliage and mermaids to morphing into musical instruments and esoteric symbols. Whether they are dressed in lavish garb or as simple silhouettes, The Cool People are the lead actors in the productions.
One of the most popular murals of The Cool People is the painted wallpaper on interior/exterior walls, canvas, textiles, and furniture. The mural features the figures ascending upwards, creating a stunning pattern in classic black-and-white or specialty colors. The repeated silhouettes are dynamic yet unique, complimenting all spaces with elegant expression.
