Artist Statement
I see myself as a caveman who orients himself with spirit of the time. Tapping into the same areas of human stimulation as social media, contemporary art is increasingly influenced by the effects of online networking and social media. In my artworks, pixels are just colored square mirror pieces, but the world they create is endless. I create objects, inspired by Eastern mythology that blends traditional and contemporary art by embroidering on the palate. The pixel draws its source from very ancient arts, I can say, it is an ancestral technique because during antiquity it was already used for mosaics for example. In my creative designs, I elevate pixel art to a new level, moving away from flat pixels and into single color cubes while maintaining a retro aesthetic. I use particular materials to create variety of objects including, mirror works, textiles, and 3D decorative items. Most of my creations continues to expand through collaboration with fellow artists, engineers, and craftsmen in various fields.
