interview

I am so excited to share with you an interview about my work for Pikaland. About one month ago, Amy, the founder of Pikaland, a blog focusing on art & illustration, invited me for an interview. It was a really interesting experience to answer all her questions. It helped me to sit back and thought about my works. It was [...]

The expressives, contemplatives

This week, I have been working on a video. The expressives, contemplatives is an experimental video using abstract shapes and random color’s association. Each screen apparition is accentuated with a sound. The story board is sober, based on contrast and colors rhythmic. Sometimes, some textured or gradients backgrounds disrupt the thread. This motion can be seen [...]

pixels #8

I want to show you my new series titled pixels ( I am not only into pyramids). This one is the #8. I am attracted by colors. I love the process of mixing colors to find some various tone. I wanted to play with symetrical effect and regular shapes using some stuffs already existing. The wood sticks [...]

~the white thing~ textile sculpture

 ~the white thing~ is completed. I have been sewing more than 250 white feathers during 3 days. A faster process than expected. The white thing is like a metaphor to the bird migration. Go one point to another without anything else that yourself.

~the white thing~

  It is the first time, that I am sharing the process of creating an artwork. Until now, I have been quite shy to do it. Anyway, for the next few days, I will post the evolution of a new artwork that I am creating. What is it? I decided to answer for a competition [...]

New Blood Art Blog

Welcome to our blog. This is a space where you can find observations, thoughts, considerations and information - voiced in a personal way - from the perspectives of our artists, and from each other. Making art can sometimes be a lonely practice, particularly for artists who are starting out. Our artists very much value your comments about the artwork they exhibit on Newbloodart, as well as the opportunity to build a relationship with you. So please feel free to respond briefly or at length to whatever you find here.*

Our artists use this space to write about everything from the frustrations of work; exhibits that inspire; radio programmes enjoyed; technical problems to be resolved; difficult decisions about what to show, and just when a piece can or must be called finished. They sometimes use it to publicize exhibitions and talks; to publicly resist the need for a consistent style; to make unusual analogies, comparisons and connections (and, occasionally, to make embarrassing admissions). Click on the artists below to follow their strands.

We look forward to reading what you think.
