Secrets of Making Art

See full interview with Phil Bearz about being a VFX artist.

For me art is the outlet of my emotions and feelings. It is some space where I can create for myself and to be free in this metaphysical space by just using different items around me.


VI: Let's jump back to the exhibition "RAGE" which was recently opened in VitArt.Expo Online. 
PB: Let me now tell what this work was in its essence. It was an assignment that I got at film school as a part of the education process. We were given the assignment to pick one certain emotion and to make a series of pictures which would represent this emotion. I wasn't really sure of what I wanted to present out of the blue, so I decided, well... pretty much as I usually do, to go out to streets and to see what the environment around me could propose. I come from a country with a poor governmental management. There's lots of abundant factories and residential buildings which are in a very poor condition. When you go out to the streets of Minsk (my hometown), you may pretty quickly get depressive feelings because of the abundance of gray colors and broken pavements. So, when I went out to a street and looked around searching for the details that could help me express something, I felt the anger and the protest towards that poor management that made the surrounding, my hometown look like a depressing pit.

At that point I decided that my emotion would be anger and I just started walking along the streets and once in a while I took out my tripod, set the camera and picked items from the surrounding, and used them to build up a scene, to build up an idea, some sort of a story. I always used the natural environment around me to express my feelings in photography or to write this environment "into the stories" that I wrote as a film director, as a scriptwriter while studying at the film school. The natural world around me was always an inspiration, the medium that I used in the process of creation.
