Baptist's work is held in numerous private and institutional collections around the world.
He’s work combines a personal form of existentialism with raw expressionist symbolism. Baptist explores the problems of human existence and centres on the experience of thinking, feeling, and acting through his paintings. A backdrop lived and experienced deep within skateboard and street culture have led to the development of an authentic and unique outsider visual aesthetic.
