“I use my art as another mode of thought, a way to express the stories stirred up in my imagination, illustrating an interpretive picture of everything that is around me, from Internet searches, fantasies, past destinations, cultures, conversations, experiences and loads of good vibes. My work is a contemporary reflection of our world and its unseen energies.
The development of my collage style is a continuum process of deconstruction and reconstruction, relearning and unlearning everything that I experienced over 17 years of working, communicating and observing.
It can be seen as a visual representation of an alternate world or a way to escape from the limitations of our reality. But my main intention of it all is to spread positivity through imagery.
Technology hasn’t left us with a void, so as to speak, but in general, industrialisation encourages consumption before citizenship or care. With the internet constantly evolving, we’re able to control our usage better: more user-centric or, at best, creator-centric, instead of platform business-centric. Thus we can now inject a more humanist approach to things – from consumers to citizens, filling the internet with care, love and light instead of white noise and greed.
It (NFTs) gives many talented and undiscovered artist opportunities to get known by bigger art collectors around the globe as geographical limitations are no longer a constraint and with Web3 it makes things a lot easier and more transparent as smart contracts and royalties are programmed to execute fairly when a piece of art is sold and resold among collectors. This art can quickly be created, bought and sold anywhere in the world. It also opens up exciting dialogues for streamlining how digital art can be used by other non-art industries.”
