Donk says that he has always liked the expression 'To Gild the Lily', which comes from the derivation of Shakespeare's verse, and expresses the very human impulse to over embellish or improve something unnecessarily.
"To gild refined Gold, to paint the Lily, to throw perfume on the Violet, to smooth Ice, or add another hue to the Rainbow."

We love the way their images are inhabited by their family and friends with powerful themes such as vulnerability, human strength, and the passage of time, appealing to our collective senses and shared human experience. Donk remixes elements of urban culture and history to create accessible artworks in which he hopes to communicate “something sincere but ultimately entertaining.” Drawing inspiration from storybooks, he often alludes to the process of growing up. A further source of inspiration is his experience into fatherhood, with his son as a familiar subject in his artwork. We’ve been working with Donk since 2015.
