I HOPE IT'S
NOT PASTEL
NEO-ARTIST, researching the "shadow side" of reality.
STATEMENT
My art is a visual exploration of the intersection between technology and humanity. Silhouetted images of shadows with a glitch effect, highlight the fragmented and disrupted nature of our increasingly digitized world and the notion of “self” in it, as well as the fleeting and ephemeral nature of human relationships and their impact on the “self”.
This is an exploration of my personal shadow sides. Through the creation of these neon and acrylic paintings, I delve into my own experiences with technology and its effect on my sense of self. I believe that the process of "shadow work" is essential for personal growth, and my art serves as a visual manifestation of that journey towards self-awareness and healing.My work invites viewers to celebrate their own colourful shadow selves and embrace the full spectrum of their being.
My work serves as a reminder that we are all connected and can shape our existence as colourful shadows in the memories of those around us and in the end of the day, the only thing left of us would be the data, that we store online.
