Design Legend Interview
30 April 2018
I do not have a design education, one could say that I am self-taught designer, my education is technical, bet my spirit always also strives for art. My design helped me to unite both - art and technologies.
Nature was my biggest inspiration for my artwork, I wanted to save its beauty for centuries.
It was my own free will to design this work, I believe that one should follow his heart and inspiration at any time.
I like to design unique works with lasting value, to find new paths and challenges.
I do not consider a design legend, but my advice would be to never be afraid to express yourself and make your visions a reality, please also keep in mind that every design should have a meaning behind it in my humble opinion.
Probably good execution, unique idea and will to finish what one has started and never to give up, facing first challenges.
Good design should also be with great meaning behind it, paying attention to all details, no matter how small they are.
Good design lasts for centuries and also stays as a testimony of a current era.
I focus on details and to make everything high quality, even it takes more time and effort.
I followed my inspiration and did not gave up when I met some difficulties, it took many tries, but it was worth it. You can always improve yourself and your works.
Design is a symbiosis of art and technology, it is something that never loses its value.
My greatest obstacles were how to execute my idea technologically, this is why I created a special workroom-lab for my experiments.
Since my project is an artwork, then I think that an art gallery is the best place to exhibit my works.
I plan to make a full collection of my works and display them for bigger audience.
My ultimate goal is to create something unique, something that has never been done before, something that will last for centuries.
I would like to see that all designs are created with a deeper purpose and meaning.
Hard to say, but definitely somewhere exciting and new.
It took one and a half year to finish my design.
Technology pays the greatest role in my design, I could not achieve anything without it, special adaptations and equipment is a must have.
I use different equipment - some is self made, some is bought, some is rented.
I think everything of the above pays a great role, I believe that any artwork must be harmonious and unified, paying great attention to every detail. I like to work with noble metals and wood.
I believe it is possible to co-design, but it is important that both parties are on the same page and share the same vision. I work alone, so it is hard to say more.
I would like to meet and discuss with any professional in its field.
When I was little, I hope to achieve something and to leave something for next generations, with joy in my heart I can say that I achieved this goal and was not afraid to follow my inspiration.
I do not know, but I hope that future so far will only bring something great for all mankind.
Designer Interview
30 April 2018
I do not view myself as I designer, it is not my profession, I wanted to create something valuable and to leave something for next generations, I am an amateur in designing.
I do not have a design company, I created a small company to design my artwork and to buy necessary equipment for it.
Design is symbiosis of art and technologies.
I like to create unique and harmonious works.
Favorite designs are these who are harmonious and have a purpose.
This is my first design so far.
My favorite materials are noble metals and wood.
It is hard to say exact time, I feel most creative when my inspiration arrives, it could be at any time of the day.
I like to pay attention to details, to make everything perfect.
I feel satisfied and curious to see how it all works out when the artwork is finished.
This is the most satisfying feeling to see my design realized.
Good execution and idea behind it.
I value tasteful designs which are created with meaning.
Designer must create something valuable of high quality and meaning.
It depends, there are some designs I truly do not understand, but everyone has rights to express themselves artistically.
My first and for now last exhibition was in February 2018 – it took place in gallery MUSEUM LV in Riga, Latvia. I plan to make a complete collection and hold my next one as soon as possible.
My greatest source of inspiration is nature itself and also architecture. I get my inspiration also from travelling.
My style is multilayered, but classical with much attention to details and quality.
I like in Riga, Latvia, where we have great architecture, so it is easy to feel inspired.
First comes the idea, then I have to find a technological way to make it come true, which involves research and many experiments to achieve the best quality.
I work as a technical director in company ULTRASTILS ltd.
I suggest to never fear to find new paths and express their creativity as much as possible.
I produced a series of specialized adaptations. Everything was made autonomously by self-bought equipment, finding new paths and new technologies. For this purpose I created a laboratory-workroom for all my experiments.
I think everyone can find time if they really want it, especially when it comes to art, there are no time limits.
I took me one and a half year to finish my design.
People most frequently ask me how it is possible to produce such work, its technical side.
I plan to make a full collection of my works and exhibit them.
I design myself.
I prefer communication by e-mail.
