ARTIST STATEMENT
I am a digital new media artist.
My works and video arts are similar to mental puzzles, where you can travel from one point to another by analyzing a picture’s symbolic objects. there is always something for the observer to discover.
In my artwork, I was influenced by the stream of surrealism and the pop art.
I never force my vision or push my philosophical opinion on the viewers, each and every one, can give theirs philosophy to my creation.
My art is surreal reality, all in my head. The viewer take a journey to places just as real as those you might find in this reality.
When I start working on a new scene, it's like enter to a fantasy dream.
like starting your new only virtual world. “Everything is possible” and in
the majority of my works I am trying to combine visual realities, with subconscious emotions and philosophical thoughts.
I create my virtual world, with 3d software and 2d paint software. Using combinations of renderings, lightings, textures and shapes.
Computers don’t make art, people do. Computers are creative tools much sophisticated ones. It’s a fresh creative tool of a new generation.
