I believe that there are many artists out there who are afraid to talk and express themselves fully. I don't have a problem with that at all, but personally, i don't mind expressing myself no matter how good or bad the subject may be. Or saying i was a fucking asshole if i happen to have been one. We all are assholes, do and say stupid shit from time to time. We are all guilty of that! I'm not scared of any of it. But indeed ashamed of many things i've said or did. That's why i feel the need paint some of the things i paint. Mostly personal as fuck. I have nothing to hide, i am what i am. What is done is done. What was said is said!!! I can't fucking change it. So my work sometimes is like a sorry kind of thing!!! It also cleanses me. Helps me be a better Person.
There's nothing negative about not liking something. (Talking about it!) It is just a spontaneous emotion surfacing from within. And you can't control that. Anything that's honest can't be negative in my opinion. Some of those emotions are quickly forgotten and left aside. (I can respect that.) I on the other hand, like to translate those feelings into visuals, through my work. That's all. Plus if you care to look closely to most of the images depicted in my work, you'll see that for the most part, there's no anger at all, but a sense of sadness and disbelieve. Which is a totally different fucking thing altogether....
This is of course my own personal opinion, but quite frankly i don't care about what anybody thinks of the subject. I find
it fucking ridiculous that anyone that calls himself/herself an artist doesn't create his/her own art... I mean come on! That's just plain fucking crazy. They exhibit all this really amazing intricate work that some amazing craftsman (who no one will ever hear about, or know their name) did and the artist (yeah right!!!) gets the credit for doing jack shit. I couldn't possibly exhibit any work i didn't create with my own fucking hands. Simple as that. I understand if an artist creates something and then has that reproduced on a larger scale. In bronze, ceramic or whatever meterials he wants to. Or even have help on bigger projects. Other than that, no fucking way in my book. The creation of art is a journey. and a fun one to. You have a starting point and a finishing line. The satisfaction i personally get is pure and fucking priceless. It is like opening a present! When you have someone else creating it for you even if the idea was your's to start with. You miss out not only the fun but the creating process. Which to me makes it pointless altogether. It becomes a production-line type thing. A bussiness. That's not art to me. That just shows how fucked up the art world can be, and is at times. I believe that bad and/or good art is an extremely personal thing.
So therefore this shouldn't be taken literally or serious by anyone creating art. I don't seek fame with my work! I
I seek answers! I I seek truth...!!! I guess popularity, fame (whatever you wanna call it) may come along with it. Personally i don't have a problem with any of that. And i am way, way far from being any of the fucking two. Meaning popular or famous. I JUST DO MY THING!!! Here is the text that Comes with it:
Many artists use a variety of complicated philosophical words and frases to describe their work. So for any of you reading this, i hope you don't mind if i just cut through the fucking crap, and i'll be who i am. A rather simple and straight to the point guy. Unafraid of what others may think of me or my art. My work has been discribed in many ways. Both positive and negative, as one would expect. Aggressive, raw, political, provocative and so on...those seem to feedback more often. I personally, don't see my work that way, nor do i feel it carries such. I paint what i see. Things that revolt me. Shit that pisses me off. Things i wish i could change. Everyday situations that are filtered onto wood, canvas, cardboard or any materials i may find useful to paint on. But mostly my work is about honesty. And you can't contain your feelings or be afraid of what others may think if you want to be totally open and honest. To me, true art is the art that is straight in your face and fully open to any kind of criticism. I dont let ego or creticism get between me or my work. Why should i? Fuck that bitch! Some people have a diary where they keep all their thoughts locked and hidden away.You can say that my work is also like a diary, only i use visuals instead of just pen and paper. And i don't lock those thoughts away. I show them to the world. Any subject can turn into a painting, a piece of art, depending of how i feel on any given day. Though in most cases my work is extremely personal, even if not obvious at first glance. I am not trying to please anyone with my work. And i couldn't care less what anyone fucking thinks about it. As an artist, i feel that there are no rules or barriers that can't be crossed. if those exist in the art world, i sure break them all, every single time. but not necessarily intentionally. i break rules because i'm always shearching for answers. art gives you that sometimes. An answer. A sense of inner peace. A sense of purpose. "True art doesn't give a fuck about , rules and boundaries...Or cares about anyone's ego. True art looks for no one's approval. It should always speak louder than anything and everything. Must be honest. If this does not happen, it probably isn't true art."
