About (old)

(page created during my time at art school)

hello o o o o o i'm a collection of atoms
Arranged in such a way
that i may
call myself a human.
like you.

without further ado;

my name is Suriya Siero.

I'm fascinated by humans, and the process of life itself.
I like to reflect on this process [our/my every move] (in my personal work) and always ask myself; what can I learn as I/we move along?]
Therefore I also like to be open to others about my process as an artist - and a human being.

I've been a creative as long as I can remember - to give shape to what I feel or experience, as a way of communicating with, approaching the other (it started with drawing, and is still important. gradually I learnt to harness other mediums though ☺️) and to understand myself as a human being; by being able to look at (/my inner world) from another perspective.



This tremendous world I have inside of me. How to free myself, and this world, without tearing myself to pieces. And rather tear myself to a thousand pieces than be buried with this world within me.” - Franz Kafka





the reason I initially studied illustration/animation(visual storytelling) is because
I 've always had a passion for storytelling; because of the effect stories can have. Their ability to touch, move, inspire, and ultimately connect us as human beings... by recognising/discovering/understanding parts of ourselves (..and life?).. through another ('s story)... I deeply feel there is something beautiful about that.



"Art is a way of recognizing oneself" - Louise Bourgeois


so later on i realised my fascination mostly lies in what we call human connection. seeking ways of materializing(manifesting) such an ephemeral, immaterial feeling. to truly touch and be touched by one another is, to me, the greatest work of art. a realisation and reminder of our common humanity - through art?

The mediums I use are diverse, I'm open to all sorts of techniques, it mostly depends on what the concept needs.

But so far I have experience in;
-2D animation (Traditional/Tv Paint/After effects),
-3D animation (Maya)
-Stop Motion
-projection mapping
- creating installations.
and I also work with film, writing (poetry) and performance art.
