Painting + Interview

Omar Nors Yakine

Learn more about this talented Italian artist in our interview below and purchase his work here.

How would you describe your work?

My works are often the result of the analysis of small things that happen to me during the day. All that I see, in some way, influences my works.

Which creative medium do you prefer?

I really like to paint using oil color, although, in this period I'm often using watercolors or mixed media.

Who are your favorite artists?

I have too many favorite artists, very different from each other. 

Antonio Ligabue, Giovanni Boldini, Vincent Van Gogh, Jan Vermeer and Caravaggio are those who influence me most in this period.

What motivates you?

When someone tells me that my works touches them, this is what motivates me most. The possibility to be able to create something that will touch someone.

What’s next?

Once I've finished the one sketch a day project (I hope to make 365 of them), I would like to collect all my works in a book that tells the effects that this experience has had on me.

Digital Mash Up + Interview

Tchmo

Read our interview below and check out some Tchmo prints (on sale now) here.

How would you describe your work?

All mashed-up.

Which creative medium do you prefer?

I trained in painting and analogue photography but now I prefer to use digital tools. I never learned how to use Photoshop, I just play it my way. I like the speed at which I can process the work.

Who are your favorite artists?

Valérie Blass, Eric Yahnker, Nick Van Woert, Dr Lakra, Adam Parker Smith, Cindy Sherman and I can go on ......

What motivates you?

The next mash-up that I will make. Also, a run in the snow or a long swim, a nutritious homemade meal with a friend, an interesting book or an independent film that makes me view things from another perspective - these are other things that motivate me.

What's next?

In the near future, I want to publish some more work I have made over the last year. And keep just mashing things together and see what happens.
