IB Visual Arts St George's

IB Visual Arts at Saint George’s School Rome Some thoughts and work by our own students….

The fact that we are constrained at the beginning helped me a lot, but then we were given more freedom‌ ‌ and that was nice!

…and then I started to take risks...

I wanted to give different meaning to my work, rather than showing just what I'm good at.

...continuously thinking about it...

‌putting together, reassemble, disassemble your ideas‌

Generally my ideas are very spontaneous.

I’m inspired by socks, by tissue paper, by ducks, by onion soup…

... it's your secret‌ your other identity, your other life –

and you can do things that you wouldn't normally do!

...these things complete me, they make me more satisfied.

“I was, to a certain extent, influenced

by Haruki Murakami and his idea of dislocated reality. In his novels he juxtaposes the mundane with the surreal but still maintains a thread that can be related to. I used the same principle in my art, where the quotidian objects are used as a medium of representation of rude and fishy circumstances...�

Sir, whenever you tell me to do something, I will always go and do the opposite.

...and you give so much more so that you get so much more, and so it sort of works again; collaboratively, reciprocally...

...you can't just go one way.

You have to go both ways at the same time‌
