THE ARTGINEER OF BEAUTIES LEFT IN THE BACKGROUND
His practice is grounded in what he defines as Complediction: a state in which contradiction is not eliminated, but structured, separated, and allowed to let each discipline complete the other. MSK is in pursuit of beauties left in the background. If you are too, his artworks may resonate with you.
STONE PORTRAITS SERIES
MSK gives a chance to be seen to tiny sea pebbles that have remained in the background despite possessing extraordinary beauty, natural artistry, millions of years of memory, and remarkable energy.
The First-Ever Stone Portrait Masterpiece - A One-Million-Dollar Artwork Embodied in 50 × 70 cm
MSK gathers a limited number of tiny sea stones, and through the Stonograph’s precise light and perspective, infused with his artistic vision, transforms them into Stone Portraits. In this act, he bridges deep time with the present, reinterpreting ancient memory, natural art and energy within a contemporary form. Within these works, viewers encounter their own emotions, hidden memories and aural energy. Sometimes forming an immediate, unspoken connection.
Stone Portraits are unique and non-reproducible mixed-media artworks. Through Stonography, the stone’s visual spirit is revealed by combining more than 30 photographs captured with the most suitable artistic angle, humidity conditions, and interpretation of light and shadow. The resulting image is then interpreted through its energetic presence, form, and historical journey.
In the embodiment process, with the collector participating in the creation of the final work, the spirit of the artwork is born only once. After the production of an ultra-high-detail fine art print, the original stone is carefully placed onto the frame using a patented magnetic system, resulting in a unique and non-reproducible artwork designed to last for over 150 years.
THE MESSAGE SERIES
As we endlessly move through the codes of life, can we slow down for a moment long enough to notice the one quietly telling us:
“Slow down and perceive beauties left in the background”. In these artworks, the computer code that speeds up life does exactly the opposite, it slows life down.
