Artist Statement
This time in my life I'm learning a lot of new skills, and I love to try new things. I realized the case for me is, whatever project I am interested on or passionate about, I will do it to the best of my ability. Since I love Jesus Christ so much, if I am making art around Him I honestly think whether it is sculpting, painting, drawing, etc, I would do a great job. Sounds like I have a ego, yea, but I actually do believe this in my heart, that I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me when it's about something I love.
I would start creating my art, by thinking how can I relate this to Christ and or if I am working for someone else I just try to search the heart of what they're asking for. I ask deep questions, and try to make the art piece hit the feels like never before. I apply all the skills I learned so far, and I usually come out with a different result than what I first thought of, but I get inspiration from how far I've come.
I feel like I have a natural eye for design, and I can see whether something looks good or not, and also have a heart for feeling for the art piece whether it was meaningful or not.
I don't just want to make any art piece, I want it to be remembered throughout generations and try to better every time. I love feedback whether if I agree with it or not, because I get to see more perspectives, and improve or add something else.
Bio
Born in New York, but I consider myself a pilgrim and stranger in this world. The place where I'm from is very far from here, one most people can't go, and sorry if I'm not being very clear, but do not fear, it's a peculiar place that will soon appear. I went from being a basketball player since the 5th grade to stopping in 2022, to professional gaming, to being reborn a Christian artist going back to college, and also becoming a poet on the side. I believe this graphic designing career is for me, because I love creating art, and I can do it while becoming the person God wants me to be.
Roger, I love your artist statement and bio! It's inspiring to see how passionately you embrace your faith and creativity. Your desire to create art that resonates on a deeper level shines through, and it's clear that you have a unique perspective on design and expression. The transition from sports to gaming and now to art is an intriguing journey, and it shows your willingness to explore different paths. It's refreshing to see someone dedicated to not just making art, but making a lasting impact with it. Keep pursuing your passion and sharing your gift with the world.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words I appreciate it a lot, and I'm glad it inspired you. One of the gifts of God is that there is so much things to try and pursue. Realized that I was chasing a lot of things, but not chasing the one created all of it. Best decision I ever made was chasing God and dreams with Him!
DeleteHey Roger I really like your artist statement especially when you talked about your faith in jesus christ and what your interested/passionate about in the world of art as a whole. I feel like I resonated with your artist statement when you talked about how you can manage to do things through christ who strengthens you because I feel the same way when I'm designing, I feel like through christ I can deliver the best of my ability to design anything. Lastly, I thought it was interesting that you mentioned you do poet on the side I feel like poetry and art can mix well together which is why art can always be a beautiful thing as it can try to mix well with almost anything in this world.
ReplyDeleteI love to hear it! Poetry is also a beautiful way to express yourself in detail through language and words.
