Final Artist Statement
My work explores my attempts in producing photographs, films, and audio with cultural, personal, and minimalistic qualities. I believe in the power of simplicity and symmetry to best artistically express myself in most of my creations. As I have these as the backbones of my work, I am open to experiments. While I continuously abide with what I now know, I enjoy experimenting on new ways and style to create my kind of media. I allow myself to learn and use different photo, audio, and video editing softwares to further develop my understanding of optimizing media and to better express my artistic goals.
Aesthetically speaking, colors make my world go round. I enjoy working with them specially neutral, neon, and pastel colors. These shades simply resonate with my personality – simple and vibrant – so I find myself ideally integrating them into my works. I believe in proper contrast and balance in every frame – picture or video. I also love playing with abstract ideas and playful texts to create a different impact. I appreciate blur and out-of-focus approaches. When it comes to audio, on the other hand, I appreciate crescendos and decrescendos to best affect my viewers’ feelings. I understand timing to be key and dynamics to be chains. It gives me joy every time a second times well with a tone – and vice versa.
My works reward viewers with a glimpse into my life and how I live it my way. I always make sure to sew in bits of inspirations and messages onto all my photos and films to hopefully affect my viewers’ lives or feelings at least for the better. I believe that I best reach out to my viewers by being true to my work with everything above in consideration.
It should not come out of me, but I know I have an eye and an ear for artistic masterpieces and I am only to continue developing them.
My name is Lorenz Lina, and I am an artist.
