大家好，我是TOTTO，一位抛开逻辑，用艺术创意展现快乐自我的工程师。我主要用独特的图案创作抽象艺术，让自己停下来，在平和宁静中思考。我的灵感是住在我身体里的“小男孩”，他希望跳脱条条框框，在创意作品中自信地随意绘画。
作品《病毒的尖叫》传递出一种深深的焦虑。物体无法看见病毒体，但能强烈地感受到它存在于体内。就像是新冠病毒，看不见，却能够以非人力可为的方式这样或那样地影响着我们所有人。
独立映像：在你的艺术生涯中有哪些重要的节点？
TOTTO: 我刚刚开始这项事业，就像刚开创一家公司，能说的不多。
独立映像选中并展出我的作品无疑是一个重要的节点。
这是我的第一个展览，我深深感谢。
有耐心也是很重要的。在初期阶段建立人际关系也需要时间。
比如说，我花了好几个月寻找给作品拍照的摄影工作室，现在的这间也负责为我打印抽象作品。
独立映像：面对当前的状况，你认为艺术能为我们的世界、社区或者家庭做些什么？
TOTTO: 艺术可以给予人鼓励、动力，也给人一丝无意义。
在疫情背景下创作的艺术是独特的，也就是说，在数码时代世界性的健康危机可能持续下去。在线艺术蓬勃发展，那么人们依然可以享受艺术。这在博物馆关闭期间是很有意义的，让我们对不远的未来抱有希望。
独立映像：2021年新的一年，你在艺术创作上有什么新计划吗？
TOTTO: 对我而言，对面前展开的作品有一种第六感是很关键的。
我必须感到内心的那个小男孩。如果感受不到，我会放弃这幅作品，重头开始。
根据我对世界和所见事物的思考和认识，我希望形成自己的风格。
聆听内心的声音是一个有趣的过程，同时我希望用视觉艺术把它表达出来。
我会坚持这一点。
Independent & Image Art Space: What are the critical milestones in your art career?
TOTTO: I just started out parallel to a corporate career, so a little bit early to tell.
One major critical milestone is definitely that INDEPENDENT&IMAGE took me on to this exhibition.
My first one ever, so I’m very grateful.
Having patience is essential as well. Networking from scratch in early career stages takes it’s time.
As an example it took me several months to find a great photo studio suitable to my art, one that now is on service printing my large abstracts.
Independent & Image Art Space: In front of the current pandemic, how do you think art can do for our world, community or family?
TOTTO: Art can provide inspiration, motivation and a sense of meaningfulness.
Art created under this pandemic is unique in the sense that we have an ongoing world health crisis in the digital age. Online art is thriving, which means that you still can enjoy art. That makes a difference during this period of locked-down museums and gives us hope for the upcoming future.
Independent & Image Art Space: In the new year of 2021, do you have any plan for your art creation?
TOTTO: For me it’s essential to have a gut-feeling about the artwork that evolves in front of me.
I must feel the little boy inside. If I don’t feel him, I discard the artwork and start all over again.
I have my own style that I want to evolve based on my thoughts and perception about the world and what I see.
It’s an exciting process that is very much about listening to one’s inner self and at the same time trying to express it in visual art.
I will stick to it.
