Through his paintings Costa goes beyond the obvious to
uncover the symbolism within the human aspect of daily life. His creativity and
style come alive through his works depicting dark and surreal imagery. As a
viewer of Costa’s images, one is transported to a world of fictional
proportions that exists in the recesses of the artist’s mind.
Metamorphosed human and animal figures shrouded in darkness, suggest
the existence of a distorted world-order. These images evoke one to closely
examine and question the reality of what one sees. Through his artwork,
Costa challenges the observer to not only understand the scope of the actual
image, but to also comprehend the feelings that the image provokes. His
paintings are as bold as the statements that they make, and it is up to each
individual to decipher what the meaning behind the image really is.
