Artist Statement of Work
Tell us about your work (style, approach, philosophy, subject and/or theme):
Art, in my perspective, serves as a liberating journey characterized by self-expression and resilience. It acts as a canvas where the defiance of societal norms aligns with an appreciation for diverse influences. My musical inclinations, spanning from Sophie and Lady Gaga to Britney Spears and Grace Jones, significantly mold my sonic preferences. This artistic spectrum finds manifestation in my most recent EP "CIAO!" – a project inspired by the 1960s Warholian era, paying homage to the Warhol superstars and cheekily nodding to counter culture movements such as The 90s Club Kids, Studio 54, and Rave scenes. Throughout this EP, I explore themes of pop culture, fashion, and sex, examining how these subjects intersect with my artistic identity. My inspiration and driving force lie in the desire to reach people on a profound level. Through immersive experiences and a blend of eclectic sounds, I aim to create a space where listeners can connect, find inner fame, and embrace their unique narratives. Ultimately, I aspire to foster a sense of belonging, encouragement, and celebration through the dynamic medium of music and performance art.
