Artistieke uitgangspunten beeldend kunstenaar Samantha Thole

Artist statement

Beeldend kunstenaar Samantha Thole in haar atelier in Rotterdam.

Being an artist is the most fulfilling way to live this life.

I am passionate about formalism and the ephemeral poetry of performance art.
I am passionate about epic tales, the distant past and monumental gestures.
I am passionate about contemporary art, where all these passions coincide.

I place my vessels, installations and performances at the intersection of material and immaterial culture. These works speak the common language that archaeology and art share. Here, the meaning of inanimate objects proceeds their physical qualities.

Intimate. Social. Sublime.
