    I like the simplicity - because an Artist Statement is in many ways our own description... if you see art critics they bring some stuff so complicated across BUT at the end we want to reach peoples heart and mind :) a clear bold and simple way of describing our passion is recommended

    As a photographer, I go to art shows. Over the years I have read countless artists statements. I laugh at most of them. So much self praise in those statements when they could just write a few paragraphs about their current show. That would make me happy! That would be enough.

      I hate the self centered grandiose talk about struggle and self finding bollocks. Mine says I have a problem with porn , brick porn as my friend says I'm always exclaiming "look at the bricks on that". 😂 I just like painting buildings and giving people who know the buildings fresh eyes to see it through and for them to fall in love all over again with something they had become comfy with and forgotten why they loved it in the first place.
      See not so hard when you have a passion and not a load of pretentious pretending to do 😁

      @@dimaermolenko98 I didn't say short and cheesy. An artist statement can get to the point quickly without being three or more pages long. Artist's are not necessarily good with words. If you want to write a long statement, just include a link.

    Sergio, Thank you so much for your wonderful insight and help. I love your own statement a lot. It seems you are painting the aura of a person. That is so interesting and I believe, has not been done before . Love it a lot. My goal is maybe in a way related, because I love to show the beauty of nature and all living beings. All the beautiful shapes of nature are amazing and I want to show them.

    I come from the commercial art field so I find stuff like this really difficult. It sounds pretentious. All that is important is "Is it appealing?" "Does it read?". So I am not sure how to switch my thinking for my personal work. I wish I could just say "I want people to buy my shit so I don't have to have a real job".

    • @sergiogomezart
      @sergiogomezart  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Perhaps you have never heard the term "Figurative Abstraction." Abstract art can be figurative representation (Pablo Picasso), or totally non-representational (Jackson Pollock). A simple Google search will clarify it for you. :)

    • @majdavojnikovic
      @majdavojnikovic 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@sergiogomezart I heard it, and it is nonsense, like many other terms that people use while describing art, just to sound clever. Picasso was a figurative painter. He always represented something or someone.
      I suggest you to open a dictionary and find the definition of both terms. To me, it sounds like you explained a shape as a circle-sqare shape. It's a circle but it is a square too.
      If it has a figure, or material object that can be recognised as such, or even reminds on something or someone from fantasy, it is figurative, if it doesn't, it is abstract.
      Your paintings are strictly figurative, they represent a stylizied human figure each, if they are those shown in the video.
      They are not abstract in any sense. They are stripped of detail, they are not realistic, they are stylizied, but they are not abstract. Abstract is something else.
