Meet
the artist Guy Geva , born in 1973 , lives in the forest close to Jerusalem
, practicing painting , photography studio and
nature photography.
What
techniques do you use?
My
discipline is oil paints, I know this stuff from the level of tens of different
techniques to the chemical level . I also know several dozen techniques in
acrylic , but oil is without a doubt my greatest love . Only to smell the linseed
oil being mixed with pigment rise A smile on my lips
.
As for Studio shots I
was working image processing software like Photoshop. I work only by using the
knowledge that allows me to utilize most accurately the intensities of light
and different colors I needed .
When
did you start dealing with art ?
I
started painting at the age of two , since then I just didn't stop ... My first exhibition was at the age of 17 - Series of small oil painting in a surrealist style
which was influenced by Salvador Dali .
Did
you study art?
I
studied painting at the Avni Institute , and some other masters . The
majority of my knowledge I learned alone.
My
knowledge of photography I learned fast drawing conclusions ..
Is
your art is
the source of livelihood ?
I
make my living in part from photography (and clips) and drawing, and
complemented I'm working on promoting Facebook pages of businesses . The work
is not, in my everyday life , but is part of my daily routine ..
a
feeling you have when you create ? Or what motivates you to make art ?
I
do not think I'm making that I want . I create because I have to say all the
time what I think and feel but can not find the words , the sentences . When I'll have no more things to say ,
I 'll shut up ..
What
are your sources of inspiration ? For example some artists that influence you?
My
inspiration are my life , the life of people, animals that are nearby and
distant me
.
Artists who influenced me ? Lots ! And new almost every day. I will mention
two, one studio and the second drawing : Mark Rothko Painting , Studio
Photography - Peter Witkin Joel
Are
there topics you like to focus on ? Try to define your style .
Even
if directly and indirectly if I deal with most suffering, hardship and death.
Is
Show exhibition ?
I'm
an artist house gallery Efrat Tel Aviv ( GALLERY excellent and highly
recommended , director of woman warm ) and presented several times in New -
York and in a few countries and throughout the country. Whether anyone here can
close a show next year at the Guggenheim in New York - I go with the flow with
it a series new I'm working on right now ...
(
:
What
is a good
art to you?
Creating
good ( all the arts ) is a work evokes emotions in the viewer ( listener ,
etc.) that were with him before he was exposed to. Created poor is creating the
viewer after a momentary enthusiasm for the work went to see another work .
Tell
us about your dream about your artistic development . Where would you like to
say ten years?
Living
solely my creation - photography and painting alike.
personal
word ending or your favorite quote .
A
true artist , no matter what field always creates no pleasure but out of
necessity / need without being able to stop. It's a painful process when the
piece is the only thing that relieved the pain or at least alleviate it.
I
do not paint an abstract that nothing is simple and everything is full of small
details ..
