The Freedom of Art – Beyond Ideologies

Art is not a slogan, not a banner, and not a tool for any agenda. It is expression, vision, and the deepest human impulse—beyond categories, labels, and political expediency.

 

Any art that submits to a confessional stance—be it political, social, or ideological—loses its freedom and betrays its own principle. Art can provoke, challenge, and engage in discourse, but it must never be hijacked.

 

I believe in art that does not serve ideologies but remains true to itself—raw, unpredictable, radically honest. Art that breathes instead of preaching. Art that emerges from within, not from a predetermined stance.

 

Art is not the answer - it is the question.

 

 

Art and sustainability

"Awareness and knowledge are key to positive change, but we also need to advocate for policy reforms and incentives to promote sustainable technologies. Let's support the ongoing efforts of engineers, scientists and industry to find innovative solutions for a more sustainable future". *

To achieve a shift towards a more sustainable art world, understanding emissions and their impact is an important step on the road to change. As an artist I am committed to taking a stand on sustainability.
