The artist I chose is Mikhail Ray Batrak who is a Ukrainian
artist that focuses on perception, surrealism, and empiricism in his work. Empiricism
in simple terms is the idea that learning/knowledge is developed from
experience, senses, and observation. In his work he perpetuates the idea that “the
beauty he was trying to capture was not intrinsic to the landscape, but subject
to his own perception”. He often refers to his art as “surrealism for the
digital age” and further stresses that “every surrealism is personal.”
His creative process starts with original digital photographs that he takes at various locations which he then manipulates in software combining various elements bringing to life a vision that he has in his mind. He takes on each stage of production from start to finish with his primary focus being on the final digital editing portion of each work. This final stage is where he explores personal perceptions of the world rather than following “socially-constructed” formulations. These final images, photocollages, and hybrid works are a reflection of his total commitment to the end result.
I wanted to find an artist that expanded on the idea of experiencing a composite. For this project and the final portfolio, I want to explore creating work that evokes an emotion, feeling, or experience. Art is highly subjective but can still be interpreted and bond with a viewer in some way. Finding relatability is one thing that many people can connect on, even if their perception differs.
