The Important stuff
"Treat it like a sport" - this is my personal phrase.
Like an athlete preparing or competing in a sport, I can behave in the same way when creating. Consistently practicing my craft, persistently finding holes in my work to improve on, regularly stepping into my discomfort zone to purposely be uncomfortable, and callous my mind. So that when I'm building a collage, I'm a better problem-solver; if I want X, Y or Z in my piece, I know what I can do to achieve that, quicker and cleaner, with every creation.
It's all good talking the talk; but I train every two days in my local gym to compound this mindset about consistency, sacrifice and steady growth. I also like to read books on self improvement. My most recent read is this book, which I recommend highly.
The Necessary Stuff
Through my art practice I create images that belong to other worlds and dimensions. Inspired by Science-Fiction, Surrealism and Afro-futurism, I entice the viewer through dreamlike scenes and divine figures that become an expedient to reflect on our multicultural yet fragmented society.
My digital collages are the result of a specific process that starts with selecting and shooting images, objects, people and fabrics. The multilayered composition is created digitally but it keeps the textures and grains of the original photographed objects, thus adding volume to the 2D image.
I experiment with animations that I mint as NFTs and I also produce music contents. The digital environment is my preferred media to create and deliver art. Technology is in constant evolution and being a digital artist is a never-ending challenge that put me at the centre of the artistic Avantgarde. Working with NFTs connected me with a growing creative community allowing me to share my creations with a broader audience.
Art is for me an inner research towards self discovery and self development, but it is also my personal way to communicate with the outer world.
