Gazetta had the pleasure to speak with the talented artist nd learn more.
Where does your interest in art originate, and how did you first become involved in the art world?
I don’t remember when it started, but ever since I was a child, I was surrounded by art, and my father was a painter. He was so passionate in art that I found it contagious and I started to paint with him when I was 5 years old. Since then, my romance with art flourished.
Tell us a little bit about your recent works and their depictions through color and form.
I was always fascinated by the style of my mother. She is the definition of elegance for me. All the colors you see in my paintings are inspired by the colors of the clothes she wears.
Explosion Art seems like an exhilarating phenomenon. How did it all come about and did the space you were at mentally have a strong role in it?
Our family business is demolition of buildings. I had a privilege to manipulate the explosions. I found the moment of explosion as a magic and realized that this is exactly what I feel – explosions of emotions within me. I realized that it was the language that explains my personality.
How have you found Dubai and anything you can perceive for future works from an artistic perspective?
I love Dubai for its ambitions, that it always wants to break any rules and make everything possible. This energy really inspires me and I want to use it in my works – break all the limits and bring artworks that are beyond imagination.
What inspires you?
I love life so much and try to live in the present, so every detail inspires me, it can be an ant, a word, a color, the sky, the impression of face, anything.
As an artist, what has been your biggest obstacle so far?
Well, I think the most difficult part is that my art is different and not everyone can understand it. I never wanted to follow the style or techniques of established artists, and always wanted to create something new, my authentic style.
And with every obstacle comes an achievement, tell us all about yours.
Now I´m very happy that I’ve found and stuck to my own style, and more people started to feel my art and what I wanted to express.
Is there any advice that you can give to emerging artists who want to showcase their work?
I think that artists should continue working and moving around so people can see their art and start recognizing it.
What’s next for you?
I want to continue developing my sculptures and build sculptures so people can not only look at them, but also can enter inside and move around it.
