What made you approach art and become an artist? (events, feelings, experiences...)
Painting has been a hobby since I was young, and it seems to have become clearer since working as an art director at a fashion company.
What is your artistic journey, techniques and subjects you have experimented with to date?
I also worked on oil pastels and oil paintings when I was sketching, and now I mainly deal with acrylic paint, but I wonder if I will show wood sculptures soon.
What are 3 aspects that differentiate you from other artists, making your work unique?
I make works that make you imagine a story. It's like a scene from a movie.
It makes us imagine images with attitudes or gestures other than faces.
Where does your inspiration come from?
My experience of living all over the world and poetry.
What is the intent of your art? What visions, sensations or feelings do you want to evoke in the viewer?
I want to remind them of the small emotions in our small lives, revive them in memories, and feel the rest of the senses (smell, hearing, touch, etc.) through paintings.
What is the process of creation of your works? Spontaneous or with a long preparatory process (technique, inspiration from art classics or other)?
Many photos, many situations, many movies connect a scene and a poem.
What techniques do you prefer?If yes, can you explain it?
There is no limit.
Do you have a format or medium that you are most comfortable with?If yes, Why?
Now, painting is a medium that I have been dealing with for a while, so I am preparing a sculpture work made of wood.
Where do you produce your work? At home, in a shared or private studio? And within this space how is your production organized?
I just work in a private studio. A studio that consists only of music, books, and art tools.
Does your work lead you to travel to meet new collectors, for shows or exhibitions? If so, what do you gain from it?
I participate in art fairs and go on personal trips. Different spaces, different cultures, different smells, different sounds, etc. are ventilated and new emotions are captured. (include many photos)
How do you imagine the evolution of your work and your figure as an artist in the future?
To the story I want to do more. It seems to develop with focus. Along with that, even wood sculpture.
What is the topic, style, or technique of your latest artistic production?
A certain moment, situation, and situation through body parts
Can you tell us about your most important exhibition experience?
Recently, I participated in the Affordable Art Fair London, and I felt once again that there are many truly wonderful artists. The path of art is long and arduous, and there is no right answer.
If you could invite a famous artist (dead or living) to dinner, who would it be? How would you propose him/her to spend the evening?
Freud, Bacon, I just want to talk about everyday things. Through it, I can hear their sincerity.
