Photos by MOONTAIN

A French solo artist, MOONTAIN. Since he was a child, he always felt life was bigger & deeper than human’s physical limits. He grew up focusing on the details animating this Whole, riding thoughts & mirages the furthest possible. Experiences always showed him how humbling and rewarding it is to pay attention to these interconnected waves, but is also a never-ending source of knowledge.

What drives him is the desire to be and to re-member, as much as the will to share positive waves and insights to help the Change. Now he shares paintings, aphorisms & spiritual support and music as an artist who is dreaming forever. CultureM Magazine releases the simple interview text and art pieces of him. More detail about him, ,

작가의 내면을 표현하는 다양한 방법은 그 가치의 경중을 따질 수 없다. 때문에 작가의 메시지를 두고 이렇다 저렇다 평가하기 보다는 있는 그대로의 가치를 받아들이는 것이 작품을 이해하는 올바른 방법 중의 한가지다. 프랑스 출신의 작가 문테인은 작품을 표현하는데 있어 찰나의 영감과 순간의 기쁨을 가장 중요하게 생각한다. 하지만 그의 이야기는 궁극적으로 사람을 향해 있다. 세상에 던지는 깊고 진지한 사유가 담긴 계몽적인 메시지나 주류 담론에 반하는 비판 의식 보다는 언제나 사람이기 때문에 느낄 수 있는 감정을 말하고 있는 것이다.

언뜻 보기에 형이하학적이고 왜곡되어 보이는 그의 작품들은 모든 인간이 느끼고 있는 다양한 감정의 단면을 이야기하고 있다는 점에 주목할 필요가 있다. 있는 그대로의 모습으로 작가 문테인을 이해하는 것은 그의 작품과 교감할 수 있는 가장 좋은 방법이 될 수 있다.  음악과 미술, 다양한 예술 분야에서 작가적인 감성을 쌓아온 작가, 문테인. 음악적인 감성과 회화적인 감성이 만나 탄생한 그의 작품을 컬쳐엠매거진이 공개한다.

CultureM Magazine – What’s your style of art called?
MOONTAIN – I don’t really have a name to put on it. As i said about the age, where you come from, your gender etc these things we give as informations make the people’s spirit builds opinions from it. But in Art, opinions are not what matters. Feelings and what it creates into the heart and Soul is what matters. So maybe give a name to it is not worthy or maybe it is; this is the beauty of Life, either ways could lead to more meaning.

CultureM Magazine – What techniques do you use to create your paintings?
MOONTAIN – This has always been the point with me, just like in my music. I always chose to find it out by myself. I believe “universal knowledge” is in the molecules, and up to grab for the one who believes he has to. I believe we are all able to find it out by ourselves, if we act with Faith in what we choose to do. This is not a “rejection” of technique, but rather the belief that we attract what we need, to succeed in our attempts.

CultureM Magazine – Your painting looks like difficult for understand easily, what is your messages in your art works?
MOONTAIN – Like i said, i don’t really have a message. In this human’s journey, or Life on Earth, we make ourselves meet people, hear sounds, read books that make us grow and get a better idea of who we are and who we want to be. I am just a tool and a drop in this ocean for people to meet this secret part of themselves, just like creating is one of my tools to achieve the same process within myself. So i would rather say, art and life’s details in general are made to understand yourself rather than itself. This is a humbling thing to remember when you create.

CultureM Magazine – As an artist, What is your plans and goal?
MOONTAIN – I have pretty much the same goals as an artist or human being, i don’t separate one from the other. I want to be myself, to re-member and always grow from here. But this has a meaning only if it contributes to help the others to do the same work on themselves too. Painting is a great thing to do, but in the end what matters is Knowledge of Life, the link between lives, visible or invisible. I just look to be able to travel the physical world as well as the spiritual worlds, to be able to move on planet Earth thanks to the artworks created and be able to connect with people to meet the unknown and learn from it.
