Artist Moti Bazak makes use of recycled materials to create thought provoking, often abstract images inspired by the existential aspects of modern life.
Moti have started off with sculpture and wall art, currently embracing traditional photography and digital art. Born in Ukraine, Moti grew up in Israel, currently lives and creates in Italy. Moti has won several awards and had his work exhibited mainly in Europe.
I was still a child when I had the existential realization thatthings are not right… and that they need a fixing.
Years later, I am returning to that “need of fixing” in my creation; I am collecting discarded pieces of wood, metal, and paper that have finished their lives, been thrown away, and forgotten.
Each piece holds its own unique morphology and hidden qualities; their individual colors, textures, bruises, and scratches whisper the stories about their past life. When the moment is just right, these different pieces of many origins become displaced and coalesce into a work of art.In a sense, they begin their “afterlife” within my work. This process of fixing and reviving has a comforting effect on me, a sense of which I am trying to pass on in my art.
