A little introduction about myself and my art.
Why do I create art?
I make art because it lives and breathes in me.
Like a symbiotic being.
It is my world as I’ve immersed myself in it professionally for over 18 years.
Art is like a friend who’s always there, when all others have died.
Whatever I’m feeling, I can put that into a conversation with myself and whatever archetypes are influencing me at the moment.
It’s a way of confronting the hard parts of life.
It gives me a way to say things that I otherwise would not say.
It creates an even larger dialogue with others who view it, taking on a new life of its own.
I think the process of creating is cathartic. And the process of discussing my work with others at an art opening, when I get to connect with people and learn from there interpretations, are my favorite parts of art life.
Sometimes I get very purposeful with my art and plan my work extremely meticulously when I am yearning for something deep and inquisitive.
Then when I finally tire from such projects, I feel the need to clear out my pallet. I engage in loosely planned or spontaneous works that can range anywhere from abstract expressionist to surrealism studies and ink drawings.
Art civilizes us.
I do feel that I need to make a positive impact on the world in some way with my life.
Art became my path so I do my best to use it for the greater good.
I will always strive to instill esoteric knowledge into my work.
So that when you view my work or when we talk about it, we’re talking about something of substance. Something that we can use as a tool to connect and learn more from each other and those around us.
I just love the idea that if you, for instance, have one of my Iterations hanging in your home, someone comes over and notices it, or perhaps you draw their attention to it.
The conversation goes something like:
“Wow, this is interesting, what’s it about?”
“Oh, well this artist Vincent Fink does all kinds of surrealism paintings but he has his own style of using Sacred Geometry in every piece. Are you familiar with Sacred Geometry?”
“I’m not. What is that?”
“Sacred Geometry is the study of harmonious arrangements and patterns in all of nature and the universe.”
The conversation continues. Perhaps you have a Sacred Geometry book or something else you can refer to for more information about it. If not, check in the book section of my website for the upcoming release of my first Sacred Geometry book.
Then there’s the layers of what’s actually happening in the piece and the narrative you can build from there. Usual topics involve the holographic principle, wave/particle duality, higher dimensions, vibration, lucid dreams, and spirituality.
Conclusion
My duty as an artist is to give a unique and honest reflection of the day or zeitgeist in a way that uplifts the human condition. Because of this, art can be used as a tool for educating the public while creating beauty in a living or work space. Together we can change the world.
This is just one example and I have plenty more but we’ll keep this one short and remind you that buying art is not only cool, sexy, but also a wise investment. Especially if it’s a creator who aims to direct culture towards real progress.
