As an award winning artist, how do you perceive the role of art in today´s society, and what impact do you hope your work will have on your audience and the wider community?

Despite the most difficult period in the life of society, people need art not less, but more. In particular fine art helps to survive the fear and horror of loss, inspires hope for the future and for a change for the better. These trends are in my works reflected and hopefully have a beneficial effect on some part of society.

Painting in the melancholic style is a captivating and emotive genre that evokes a sense of sadness and introspection. This artistic approach often utilizes muted colors, somber tones, and shadowy imagery to convey a mood of melancholy and introspection. Artists who delve into this style explore themes such as loss, solitude, longing, and the transient nature of life. From the brushstrokes to the subject matter, every element in these paintings is carefully crafted to evoke a deep emotional response from the viewer. The melancholic style serves as a powerful medium for artists to express their innermost thoughts and feelings, creating a profound connection between the artwork and its audience. This is where award winning artist Leigh Witherell lives.

As someone who has successfully ventured into entrepreneurial projects, including a commercial photo licensing company and a branding agency, how do you balance your business acumen with your artistic pursuits?

Being an entrepreneur I always look for new possibilities. My outlook on life is to make things better and or more beautiful. I think that this goal equally applies to business and art. For me, business and art feed each other and provide me with challenges, inspiration and satisfaction in my everyday life.

Your work beautifully merges celestial imagery with human biology, particularly inspired by Lennart Nilsson's photography. Could you elaborate on how this fusion shapes your artistic narrative?

I would say that first it shaped my believes and way of life, the artistic narratives emerged later. It has to do with a phrase I use often in my writings, I call it the separation illusion , meaning that we are accustomed to see the world as accumulation of separate entities. Viewing the celestial elements brings in mind that we are part of a much greater reality, our body is built out of trillions cells, the universe is created out of trillions galaxies, each cell has a nucleus and is composed out of myriad molecules and atoms, each galaxy is composed out of stars as our Sun and planets.

You've exhibited your work extensively, both in Denmark and abroad. Which exhibition or venue has been most impactful for your career and why?

Apart from the fact that the State-recognized Censored Exhibitions give you access to even better exhibition venues, all exhibitions give me something, because I always try to design my exhibitions for the place and according to the possibilities that the place offers. The post-criticism is also important to me.

As an architect with a strong background in design and creativity, what inspired you to transition into the world of painting, and how do you feel your architectural training has influenced your approach to art?

The main reason to transition into the world of painting would be the freedom to express my ideas without the limitations that I might have found in architecture. Being so, I would say that architecture gave me the tools to express myself artistically.

Visual reality is an ever-shifting, highly individualized experience. In any given moment, what we see reflects our inner state and synthesis of outer qualities—light, color, movement, and space. Harris’s exploration as a Techspressionist in photographic art represents an attempt to recreate the perceptual experience, with its dynamic nature and hidden complexities. Howard Harris has long been fascinated by both visual perception and design. The Denver, Colorado, USA native earned a BFA from Kansas City Art Institute and a MID (Masters Industrial Design) from Pratt Institute in New York.  In 2017, Harris was granted a United States Patent for a Layered Artwork, proving his work's uniqueness and inventiveness. Since then, his work has appeared in many books and publications and is represented by US, U.K., and European galleries.

You work with various mediums like oil, acrylic, pastel and watercolor. What draws you to these mediums, and how do you decide which one to use for a particular piece?

These are traditional painting techniques that are easy for me to use. I don’t mix techniques. I often paint outdoors, taking oil or watercolor with me, and pastels as a spare. The choice of technique is a matter of course without any thought; intuitively, I reach for a brush or a crayon. However, I love to paint portraits in oil techniques because they offer a lot of possibilities. Oil provides opportunities to obtain additional planes and unexpected exposure. Oil gives softness and plasticity.

What future projects are you most excited about, and are there any new directions or techniques you are eager to explore in your upcoming works? 

Now I'm working quite a lot, works in abstract digital art. My latest series, Mars and Venus, is a sample of these works in the abstract. I am passionate about researching along this path in which all digital techniques are mixed to achieve shapes and colours that produce different sensations and emotions.

Could you delve into your background a bit more and share what pivotal moments or influences led you to pursue a career as an artist? How have these initial inspirations continued to shape your work over time?

Growing up I never stopped dwelling on creative attitudes, as an adult I started going to an artist studio in Trastevere every Friday as I brought my studies ahead. Then in the summer time I went to London to study portraits at Wimbledon school of art. Where I found my style in drawing.  My studies brought points to my natural attitude but what really made me think without thinking in art was university, where I studied architecture at Ludovico quaroni- la sapienza. There forms and colours and a different discipline in studying made me cooperate between antropic and analogical drawing.

Manuel, can you share with us what initially sparked your passion for photography, and how did you nurture this interest before formally pursuing it in 2009?

It all started when I was a little boy growing up in small town in central Mexico. I discovered boxes of old photographs that my mother had. I enjoyed looking at them and imagining the stories behind them. Then, my uncle lent me the first camera I ever held in my hands—an old 35mm Pentax camera—and at that moment, I knew that making art would help me search for my own voice, my own space in this immense world. Unfortunately, he asked for the camera back after a while and my economic reality did not give the space and time to nurture my interest in photography until much later in my life.

Looking back on your own experiences and achievements, what advice would you give to emerging artists who aspire to reach similar levels of success and recognition in their careers?

My advice is to create work that you truly believe in. If you believe in and love what you do, other people will notice it. There are different ideas of what success is. In today’s banal world, it’s mostly measured by currency, but to me, there are more important aspects of art than the price tag, such as the ideas, quality, and philosophy behind the works. An artist who chooses to make art their path must first decide what it is about art that is most important to them and then give it their all in this direction, putting in 100%, nothing less than that.
