ARTIST STATEMENT

I like to think about my work like a constantly evolving hybrid animal living in a parallel world to ours.Together with various skin textures found on reptiles and humans, I create new hybrids with simmilar behaviors like us. I am interested in studying species of reptiles, infectious and fatal diseases found either in animals or humans. I like to observe the behavioral changes of easily manipulated masses in order to... But that is a topic for another time!

1. Inspiration & Style 

What initially inspired you to become an artist, and how did you develop your unique artistic  style? 

Ever since I was a small child, I loved to draw and research animals that interst me, especially  reptiles. In the last few years I have combined these fascinations from my childhood into my art  concept Corrupted Files. 

2. Creative Process 

Do you have any rituals or routines that help you get into a creative mindset when starting a new  project? 

Personally I can say that I am very spontanious when starting a new project, because I constantly  have new ideas that I am eager to finalise! 

3. Artistic Influences 

How do you balance historical or artistic influences with your personal style, and how do these  influences manifest in your work today? 

I have multiple artists that inspire my own artistic practice. To name a few: Marina Abramovic - for her abillity to communicate with her audience through her preformances, Jean-Michel  Basquiat – mostlty because of his artstyle, Albert Durer – I especially like his artworks of  animals and his abillity to capture them in a very life-like fashion.


4. Emotion & Expression 

How do you use your art to evoke emotions, and what role does emotion play in your creative  process? 

Emotion plays a key part in Corrupted Files. The main emotions I want to convey with my art is  control and hopelessness, because no matter how free we think we are, we are always being  controlled and surveilled. 

5. Standout Projects 

Can you share a project that stands out to you and describe the creative process behind it? 

Recently, as a part of my project Corrupted Files, I have made a collection called Research  Purposes. This collection was born from a spontanious combination of new styles. I realised that  my characters can be represented very well through experimentation, so it can symbolise their  withering sanity. 

6. Feedback & Growth 

How do you incorporate feedback from critics or audiences into your work, and how do you  balance this with your own artistic intuition? 

I am very open minded to different opinions and I let people to express their feedbacks and  critiques because my topic should evoke an opinion. 

7. Motivation & Inspiration 

How do you stay motivated and inspired, even when facing creative blocks or challenges? 

Even when I am facing a challenge I always try to overcome it no matter how hard it can be.  During the process, I try to understand and analyze the challenge deeply as a part of my self  evaluation.


8. Exhibiting Work 

How do you feel about exhibiting your artwork with The Holy Art Gallery, and what does this  opportunity mean to you? 

For me, it is a great honor to be exibiting at the Holy Art Gallery. This exebition will be my first  time exhibiting overseas, I am very looking forward to it. It will give me lots of opportunities to  meet new people and to promote my art. 

9. Future Goals 

What are your long-term goals and aspirations as an artist, and how do you plan to achieve  them? 

In the near future I am planning to go to university and to develop my artistic skills even further.  

10. Audience Connection 

What do you hope viewers take away from experiencing your art, and how do you aim to  connect with them on an emotional or intellectual level? 

My intent is to make an interaction with my art and the audience. My art is specifically made  through the lens of the researchers, researching subjects in their lab.
