In summary, my artist manifesto extends beyond art; it delves into how we perceive and understand the world through relationships. 🎨🌟


In my quest for artistic expression, I’ve discovered that art is more than just a hobby or a profession; it’s a way of viewing the world through the prism of relationships.

 

Inspired by a course “Creating with Courage” by Clarissa Callesen, I delved deeper into the concept of seeing. Clarissa encourages the viewer to "see without identifying", but I would rather promote to see just differences. The central aspect of my manifesto is that we all perceive and think through a mechanism of relating. Relationships form the foundation of our perception and cognition.


I invite you to join me on this journey, where we explore the complexity of contradictions and nuances. From the dynamics of colours and shapes to the symbolism behind each artwork, it’s a voyage into how we, as observers, understand by forming relationships.


While some may not resonate with my words, I hope others find inspiration. 🎨🌟
