My goal is to never stop reaching for one. I'm inspired by and hope to create art that grabs peoples' attention and evokes the emotions that make us human. It amazes me when any form of art is able to achieve a chaos that is somehow balanced perfectly. Intense and contrasting colors are a constant obsession of mine that I come across randomly everyday, like in architecture lighting or music videos on youtube, because they have a way of waking you up and invigorating your senses. I respect art that steps outside the boundaries of real life and shows what the imagination is capable of, like the band Gorillaz, with illustrated characters as the band members blending in with the real world. I like bold images and sounds that break the constant cycle of New Yorkers, walking straight ahead and hurried everywhere they go, such as performers in the subway or graffiti when I walk around Brooklyn.
My main focus is web programming and graphic design. I love the way that precise coding can create so many things and make a blank webpage come to life, and the way that Graphic design gives me the ability to construct any image or idea in my head into an actual visual design.
Everything is always a learning process for me because I never want to stop creating. I believe that people as artists live in a constant cycle with creativity that never ends, but nurtures them. Every time we create, we evolve and our imagination becomes overflowed with a new stream of ideas. We never reach our goal because we are always reaching a higher state in our creative minds. Our surroundings, the people we meet, and our experiences re-inspire us and the evolution continues. Everyone is limitless by nature, that's the message that I'm inspired by and hope to inspire others with also.
This Intro to film class is a learning experience for me since I've never done anything involving film before. My TA from last semester showed us the video Baby, I'm yours by Breakbot, and I remembered it because I thought it was a perfect blend of graphic design and video, and a direction I'd like to go in with this class.
