PHOTOGRAPHY BY LINA VIKTOR
What medium do you enjoy painting with the
most?
I paint and gild with 24-karat gold on canvas. Up until now, as far as painting
goes, canvas has been my medium. But I am now beginning a journey into the
third dimension and working on sculptures and 3D objects.
What music do you listen to when you paint?
I listen to music that envelops me, makes me feel like a conqueror, or gives me
throwback ‘90s vibes—artists like Phillip Glass, James Blake, Björk, Woodkid,
Kelela. But mostly I listen to/watch science and nature documentaries.
Who are your top five favorite artists of
all-time?
Yves
Klein, Constantin Brancusi, Frida Kahlo, Martha Graham and Jeff Koons.
What piece is your favorite in your new
collection?
A piece
called Golden Age, my second painting made entirely out of 24-karat gold.
Usually I mix gold with acrylic and gouache paints, but this piece is all gold.
I actually kept it—I keep one work from each series so it is now part of my
collection.
What is next for you?
I am
shooting an art film this fall that will debut at the Versace mansion during
Miami Art Basel in December [2014].
How would you describe yourself in three words?
Insatiable,
loner and cerebral.
