-What and who has inspired you the most in your artistic career?
Frida Kahlo has been the most influential artist in my journey. Her bold expression of personal pain, resilience, and cultural identity deeply resonates with me, inspiring my own work and approach to art.
-Every true artist is also a revolutionary against power. Do you think there is still room today to express one’s revolution through art?
Absolutely. Art remains one of the most powerful forms of revolution. The courageous work of artists in Iran, who use their creativity to challenge and resist a dictatorship, is a compelling example of how art can be a force for change.
–We live in a world where, unfortunately, war still exists. Do you believe that if there were more dissemination of art through the media and social networks, the world would be a more peaceful place?
Hope always persists. During the COVID-19 pandemic, artists in Germany were reminded that art was not considered “system-relevant.” However, art is far more than just relevant; it has the potential to change systems. This is precisely why there’s a reluctance to let art become so powerful—it could even stop a war.
Are you working on a new project? If so, can you give us a sneak peek?
I’m currently focused on promoting “Pink City Film,” which keeps me quite busy. However, that doesn’t stop me from brainstorming new ideas. I’m considering exploring animation for a future project, so stay tuned!
