 ====== ARTIST STATEMENT ======
+====== 2018. ======
+My practice is informed by different concepts of environment. As my studies started with painting and classical drawing/sculpturing with classes in art history, continued trough Gerriti Rietvield Kunst Akademie utilitarian concepts of art in the time cultural industry was just starting and MFA gained at transdisciplinars studies of at that time new media now creative practices studies, span of informations, systems and principles that I have encountered granted me insights into transdisicplinary strategies.
+I have realized that all systems of art that I have encountered are anthropocentric, and that artist are not here only to satisfy human needs for aesthetic and "spiritual and cultural advancement" and that this systems are always neglecting if not completely erasing other cohabitants. by learning about permaculture, a question started to arrise -"what would art for plants be". I was not interested in teaching pigs or elephants or bugs to paint, or to connect wires to plants to "here them sing". I was interested what would be concepts of doing art for non humans.
+Such questions have natural consequences to research into "Art Operating Systems" that I have gained my masters. Institutional, non institutional and market systems are never concerned about aother inhabitants but humans. There is no operas or bale for plants, nor rock concerts for animals. Nor would they care much, not would it be geopolitical appropriate, nor could they be connected to any culture history pool. No one ever has looked at that aspects.
+At the other side, shamans, artists from caves, indigenous cultures all have a very rich and sacred connections to other inhabitants. I todays world where questions of our survival is not seen any more as survival of the fittest, but as collaboration of all, art has a definite space to pose questions that science cannot, and to give possible solutions which are out of narrow concepts of civilization, survival or tragedy.
+Artist needs to be free and follow o his path of thinking, creating and questioning, and be stubborn in his non compromised critique. I learned art that is representational is the same as any part of history - no matter if latest technology is clay, bronze, oil painting or AI.
+Recent practice is thus mostly informed by permaculture (permanent agriculture) and aesthetic methods that I have learned in different positions. I am teaching myself to live and work with the environment as creative being in search for re-establishing connections to environment.

-My art practice slowly but consistently moves from art in public spaces, interventions and //artivism// to environmental art and practice that is using nature as primary source of inspiration. I am consolidating my classical painting and sculpturing BA with new media art MFA to use my knowledge to investigate, research and respond to impulses I receive while being in nature.

-According to
+sculpturing studies with new media art MFA to investigate, research and respond to impulses received from the environment.
+Main inspirations comes from production and consuming cycles, skills and tendencies of societies in comparison to natural ones. Using transdisciplinary strategies I often work collaboratively, or using participation as part of large scale installations and performances/happenings.
+My works are rooted in DIY, open source and renewable energy movements ethics and philosophy.
