I believe that art makes the world change and helps us see it in a different way and it has always been my ambition to study and work with visual media. This inspired me to create art that presents my own visual perspective of the world.
I am convinced that the lack of appreciation for art in our “pleasure-seeking” society should be addressed. I agree with the idea that art and heritage are in decline; in contrast to the world of the Ancient Greeks for example, where art was the prime medium of conveying philosophical, artistic and religious ideas. In addition, I believe that the goal of advocating the importance of art should be shared by artists of our generation. Moreover, art is a tool that helps us understand our cultures and heritage. It also helps us give insights into our past and provides enjoyment, allowing us to discover more about our cultures. Thus, as an artist, I see that we have the opportunity to contribute to the preservation of a civilisation’s heritage, which I believe should rest in the hands of contemporary artisans. |
