Art questions June 2019


Q: What are your art peeves?

A: Art that is just meant to look good, artists following trends and worrying about reception. Artists with no ideas whatsoever relying on personality or fame.
 People who are afraid to talk about art.
 Frames being used for cute inspirational hogwash. I have actually framed one sentence, but it's from The Divine Comedy:

"The shadowy forms, that seem'd things dead and dead again, drew in at their deep-delved orbs rare wonder of me, perceiving I had life."

It's brilliantly written and not just inspirational.

Q: How many wax drawings have you made?

A: At this point (15.6.2019) I have made 260 wax drawings. This is my 6th year and I make 50 drawings every year. I don't feel like I'm running out of ideas. The period from 2014 to 2019 has felt like an explosion. I'm glad I can say that because other people in my family  had the same skills but they lost interest at an early stage.

Q: What are you working on right now?

A: I've been making music. My 7th album comes out July 1st this year. It's my first metal release under a different name, Vengeful Semblance.
 I have some ideas for short stories. I love classic short stories and I've made a list of my favourite writers (Guy de Maupassant, Edgar Allan Poe, Anton Chekhov, Italo Calvino...).
 And hopefully I will have 300 drawings in total by the end of the year.

Darkness, panic and being alive


Do you want to be here? If the answer is yes, it has to mean something.

I love dark works, strange ideas and beauty in unexpected places. The key is that I'm trying to understand these ideas and feelings that are very hard to explain. I don't just give up.

I have to do these things without panicking. If panic is your reaction, you won't understand anything.

If you create great works - paintings, films, books, music - it proves you're experiencing the joy of ideas. It also proves you want other people to experience that joy. It doesn't matter how dark your work is. If it's done well, people will be moved and they will have a meaningful relationship with your work.

I am tired of pretentious artists who say they want to be depressed. Or that they want to hurt themselves and it's cool. They don't know what they're talking about.

You face the real challenge when you are alive, awake and sober. Are you truly ready for that? Are you truly here?
