During our life we are continually reinventing ourselves. As we grow we change our ways, our tastes and we’re figuring out who we are and we want. As artists such changes difficult to find a style that defines you. Once you find who you are and who you want to be, you must strive to fight to become that person, follow that path you consider yours.
I found myself in what I called “social pop art”.
I always wanted to feel that I could do something for the world, to feel useful, to do something in life worthwhile, not only for me, but also have value to others.
All damage that we, humans cause to the world, to nature, living things, including ourselves … There comes a time when it is time to turn things around.
Art for me has always been linked to social criticism, it is an agent of change, a space for the complaint, discussion and thought: living art. We are facing a powerful weapon of transmission of values. The social art is that which seeks to transform reality.
“Art is not merely contemplation, it is also action,
and all action changes the world, at least a little.”.
Tony Kushner.
On the other hand for his figurative language with pure, bright colors I consider me a pop art lover. It is an art intended to consumerism, using popular theme images, most taken from the media. These themes are conceived as simple “motives” that justify the fact of painting: absence of critical approach.
Uniting both styles we have the social pop art, on the one hand with popular images and pop art so attractive aesthetic and the other with the critical and transformative social art aspect.
