About Troy Barbitta
Contemporary Artist Based in Australia
Troy Barbitta is a multidisciplinary artist and designer whose work explores the layered intersection of culture, nature, myth, and modern design. Based in Perth, Australia, Troy creates original artworks that blend 17th-century illustration, advertising fragments, and architectural forms with symbolic watchers…characters that observe and guide through change.
My work is an excavation of visual culture, fragments of time, memory, and myth layered into modern relics.
Drawing from historical illustration, signage decay, and the visual language of branding, I build modular panels that speak in a language of collage, contradiction, and quiet symbolism.
Each piece is a living mosaic. Ink, print, type, and texture are not just materials, they’re cultural remains, reassembled to question our relationship with design, nature, and self.
Watchers, mythical guardians of a changing Earth, appear throughout my work as silent guides. They live in the background, observing, reminding, reconnecting.
This is not traditional painting. It’s not pure design. It’s a fusion, curated chaos and constructed stillness. Artifacts of the observed, made by hand. Never AI.
