For the month of November I will be highlighting 4 Detroit artists who are making an impact in the contemporary art world.
I was able to ask them each 4 interview questions that pertain to their outlook and position in modern art.
Thank you @mariomooreart for sharing your insights and perspective.
William
How is your vission expressed
in your art work?
Mario
I believe my vision for what I want in my work is pretty fluent but as an artist I want to unearth hidden truths and bring to light new stories. Ultimately my work is about challenging our everyday experiences and to imagine what lays ahead.
William
What would you say is your primary motivation for creating?
Mario
Living is creating and creating is living for me. That is my motivation, it is a part of my being.
William
What advice do you have for emerging artist?
Mario
My advice is to emerging artist is to find your tribe. What I mean by that is immerse yourself in your local community and get to know other artists. Support each other and challenge each other. That leads to a support system that cannot be broken.
William
Where do you see yourself in the contemporary art market?
Mario
The art market is weird. I see myself as a part of art history but slightly outside the art market and not because that is my plan but simply because that is where I am. It’s something I try not to think about.
