Discussing yourself as an Artist (Artist Statement about my own work & style)

Artist Statement (My Work and Style)

As an artist, my preferred mediums of work would be Photoshop and Maya. As a digital artist using materials like Maya allow me to bring characters, assets, props or creatures to life. I say Maya in particular because as a visual learner I can implement my imagination into a model a lot easier.

Technique-wise I would have to say 3D modelling. Reason being is a lot of the tedious and more difficult processes such as shading and highlighting in painting and drawing is already done by default in modelling. If not, there is a material or tool that can do it for me. It is easier and allows me to focus more on the idea and design rather than the formal elements of art behind it.

As an artist, my prefered style of working would be alone, at night. Something about isolation allows me to purely focus on my art and get lost in my own world. Most of the time I'll have some form of music playing whilst I do my artwork too. If I ever have a creative block, a dream or artists work helps me get past this. Whether it is online or in person. I'll usually get past a block in a day or so.

The purpose of my work is to inspire and entertain people. I find a massive amount of pride in entertaining others with my art. I want to be able to give people the same enjoyment and amazement with my art as other artist have done for me. That is the purpose of my art.

The important elements of my work would have to be execution and detail. Originality in this day and age is non-existent, near enough. I find if you can take a similar concept but add to it and give more depth and reason to stare and look at something, you've done your job as an artist right. That is what I personally believe are the important elements in my work are. It creates an atmosphere you can get lost in. The use of shadow, line and immense detail is what captivates you as a viewer of art.

For the future I would like to develop a cleaner and more refined or better look art. As well as this do what I have always tried to do and develop more original work, more specifically in my own style. That's also a development in my art I would like to make in the future.

As of right now I would best say that my work resembles that of Graphic Art. The simple, minimalistic approach to my traditional and digital work makes this apparent. In the future I would like to see if I can branch out into abstract and Fantasy art styles.
