Born and raised in Seattle, Troy Gua is a passionately creative Artist.

He's a self-taught artist, designer, maker, and tinkerer, continuously cultivating a prolific output of smart, bold work in a diverse range of media, produced with wit and a crisp visual aesthetic. 

He is well known within the Purple Prince family for his 'Le Petit Prince' series of lovingly detailed and meticulously staged photographs - a surreal reimagining, in sculptural miniature, of the life and career of Prince Rogers Nelson, his artistic hero and his life’s and work’s most profound influence and inspiration. But it doesn't stop there. There's also his Pop Hybrids, Colorbands and Portals series.

To Troy, the idea comes first, the media of choice is whatever best serves the idea, and the methods of fabrication are as wide in scope as the results. His subject matter, like his media choices, are fluid and wide in range, addressing iconography and identity, referencing contemporary culture and his relationship with it, underscored and sewn together with his unique visual language.

While he absolutely makes art to express himself and to connect and commune with others, it may be more true to say that he makes art because of the addictive nature of the joy he derives from delighting others with the images and objects he makes.

You can follow him on Facebook or Instagram.
