I am a conceptual
artist working with visual art and food. Planet Art is the concept which frames
my practice. Planet Art is an autofictional universe based on art historical
references and influences, as well as everyday life as a contemporary artist. On
Planet Art live the Artists.
To provide an insight
into what it means to be an Artist on Planet Art, I work with interactive
sculptures and paintings. Through this method, I transform you from viewer to
participant. As a participant, you become part of the ongoing creative process
that everyday life as an Artist on Planet Art entails, including the Artist’s
routines such as submitting applications, writing artist statements, or
adapting a portfolio.
My creative process
functions as a dialogue between making and reflection. I need to feel the
material with my hands or see how the paint and color responds in order to
understand what resonates. I often use materials connected to Arte Povera and
paint with modernism’s deconstruction of the picture plane in the back of my
mind.
I created Planet Art
in order to frame and describe my artistic practice. On the one hand, it is a
caricature of the contradiction that art is free, when the fact is that there
are external factors such as politics, cultural trends, and economics that govern
it. At the same time, it is a declaration of love, since I need art in order to
process and digest the world around me.
