Evgenii DAMK, Lisbon, Portugal 2024
Artist Bio: Ten years ago, I experienced burnout and a severe depressive episode. It was a challenging time that required long and meticulous treatment. However, this period led me to discover art in all its forms.I have a degree in Applied Mathematics, but my true passion lies in creativity. Since then, I have been creating graffiti, canvases, sculptures, and 3D models. At the end of 2023, I started placing my works on the streets every week, with a simple note: "If you like it, take it with you."My main muse is Damk the monkey. He can pretend and participate in all kinds of movements, but he also has his own world, hidden from others. Through my art, I try to reveal this unique universe, hoping it will resonate with those who encounter my work.
Artist Statement: Art has become a way for me to express my emotions and experiences and share them with others. In a world full of hustle and challenges, it is important to remember that we are not alone.The "You Are Not Alone" movement embodies this belief for me. It represents a community of understanding and support, a reminder that we are all connected through our struggles and triumphs. By sharing my art and the story of Damk, I hope to contribute to this sense of connection and support, reminding others that they, too, are not alone in their journeys..
