CreAtiVe BLCK Vaccine

This artwork is the culmination of a 2 year long period, that defined and reshaped humanity in a way that no one expected. I can honestly say that this period had many effects on myself, both as one of those human beings but mostly as an artist. The first quarantine was really scary, especially for those who were unfortunate enough to live through that time all alone. This piece was created towards the end of 2021 but I'm positive the creative process started exactly on that period that held me captive in a small room, with only my art and my thoughts. Those first months were hard, but I've managed to get the best out of them. I tried to improve myself, reflecting on me as a person and as a visual artist. A piece that only had birth thanks to a chain of events in my artistic and ironic mind but also in the world. Creative Block Vaccine is an artwork that merges different realities and purposes, with a desecrating root. An idea that really shaped itself due to all the outside inputs: the fear that the pandemic brought into our homes, the insurmountable amount of psychological terrorism that followed on all the mass medias, the fake news and the insurgency of minorities, negativism and complottism that found a way into, thankfully, a small percentages of people's mind. All of it mixed in a figurative blender that is really just the mind of a young artist, that just like everyone else had to deal with all of this. Creating this piece was a necessity for me, I had to put a pin to this era, put down all the toxicity and create something that eventually would have seen the light of day. This artwork is basically an artist's metaphor that illustrates with both 3D visuals and sound design a sad and disruptive tale, that afflicts a random and naive artists, affected by a "sickness" that long existed before covid: The Creative Block. It doesn't take much to kill a man on the inside, and it takes even less to scar him. This is a concept that the last two years kept reminding me, how we really are just a mold to the events that surround us, and how they can have us extremely affected. These two companies "Adobe X Pfizer" are just the result of a conflicted mind of an artist, that tried to cope with a sadistic and unreal situation. "Unreal" is a key word here. Everything can be unreal, just like the pandemic, until it actually happens. This concept is important to be able to understand this artwork completely. A satirical journey that takes this desperate artist to abuse of something that as advised by the substance itself, might led to an undesired effect. Ironically underlying how in reality some people will do and will believe the exact opposite of what they're told. It has happened with vaccines, it happens with cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and who knows what will follow. The fact is, if we're only a mold to what surrounds and affects us, how could we really grow as humanity, when we're so reluctant to individually try to?
