VIDEO ART FILMS
Professional Info

 

I am a passionate filmmaker, who loves working with visual materials (photography, moved pictures, visualised text, found footage, movie quotations) and sounds (music, human/animal voices, nature sounds) in a technological art context. On the cutting edge of video art and filmmaking, I write, conceptualize, act in, direct and edit my pieces of art for both connoisseurs and amateurs. Filmmaking is about the creation of genuine, unique works of art, which depict both aesthetically and contentwise the audio-visual reality and meta level of life at the same time. By means of technological reproductions of real life patterns, I use the narrative structures and drama strategies of cinema movies together with the inventive forms and experimental techniques of video art in order to create new aesthetical forms, ideas and symbolic/spiritual values. My video art films express in the context of art history the ideal creative freedom of the human mind and its permanent quest for truth, beauty, love, realization and immortality.
