ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Beyond your vision by Philippe Sokazo.
“My expression takes action beyond an interpretation of
reality, through visual art, sculpture, designed object, music,
and Public Art.
If I pushed the boundaries of your sensations, is to bring you
to an unexplored zone of your feelings: your pure
imagination!
It is your privilege to take part in the freedom of dream,
experiencing your inspiration without rule and direction.
Bold colors, and hard edge compositions being just your
hosts...
What you are seeing just belong to you, this is the magic.
You are free to create your story, because there is an infinite
of possibilities to read my Art...Probably that’s why so many
collectors love it, being attached to.
My aesthetic is not inspired by religion, geography, society,
technique, fashion, local countryside, or animals...
It’s a visionary way to free your believes, only trusting your
emotions, your sensitivity, and mostly joy, in a playful
universe; where you are the main tipping point.”
