Art = Freedom
The takeaway of the Holocaust book is that without freedom, we have nothing. I believe that making art is the ultimate expression of freedom. Many people have fought for and died for us to exercise this right. We honor them by using it. ##Copilot Thank you for sharing your inspirations and in - fluences, Stephen. Your experiences, from your early life to your career in technology and your exploration of the Holocaust, have clearly shaped your perspective and your art. Your commitment to freedom and your belief in art as an expression of that freedom is genuinely inspiring. Finally, let’s move on to the last part of your art - ist’s statement. Personal Philosophy This is where you share your thoughts on the role of art in your life and society. You’ve already touched on this with your discussion of freedom, but feel free to expand on this or bring in other philosophies that guide your work. For example, “Art is a powerful tool for communication and change. Through my work, I strive to challenge perceptions, provoke thought, and inspire action.” Can you provide similar information about your own personal philosophies?
##Shoosty Foundations of My Art
Art history and mythology inspire me. They reveal who we are and the wonders of our existence. Visualization fuels my creative process, allowing me to explore and refine ideas through writing and painting. These creations deepen my understand - ing and serve as bridges to share these worlds with others. The Scope I am a multimedia artist who has worked on ev - erything from coding to painting. Although I spend most of the day on the computer, I also covet the times I work on canvas. In 2023, my artistic practice significantly shifted towards working with fabrics. While I’ve always en - joyed the tactile experience of painting on canvas, the unique qualities of fabric – its drape, texture, and potential for large-scale creations – began to hold a strong, artistic allure. Additionally, working with fabrics offers practical advantages for exhibi - tion. The ease of setup and reduced need for fram - ing and storage translates to less hassle allowing me to create a higher volume of work. This shift towards fabrics also opens doors to exciting pos - sibilities in the realm of luxury goods and fashion, starting with my current exploration of high-quality silk scarves. Humility and Focus: The Keys to Creation Daily practice is essential. Whether it’s a small sketch or exploring software limitations, I dedicate focused time to hone my skills. While mastering a few mediums is crucial, I see my artistic jour - ney as a continuous learning process – gradually filling the gaps in my knowledge. Learning has its own rewards.
