What is the best advice you have ever given and received regarding your artwork and career?
My mentor advised me that I should root my art in a long tradition of art history, and to find influences in the old masters, rather than in the contemporary entertainment industry I was leaning to. It was an excellent piece of advice that opened an inexhaustible well of inspiration for me. The entertainment industry, in my opinion, has a tendency to propagate superficial effects, rather than strong, emotional image making.
What are your hopes for the future of your career?
Finding out what makes an image strong and apply that knowledge to my future work.
