[@williamkazak469]

As a photographer, I go to art shows. Over the years I have read countless artists statements. I laugh at most of them. So much self praise in those statements when they could just write a few paragraphs about their current show. That would make me happy! That would be enough.

[@sergiogomezart]

Hi William. So true. Short and to the point are the best art statements. Happy new year. Hope you are well

[@vanessarheadart9708]

I hate the self centered grandiose talk about struggle and self finding bollocks. Mine says I have a problem with porn , brick porn as my friend says I'm always exclaiming "look at the bricks on that". 😂 I just like painting buildings and giving people who know the buildings fresh eyes to see it through and for them to fall in love all over again with something they had become comfy with and forgotten why they loved it in the first place. See not so hard when you have a passion and not a load of pretentious pretending to do 😁

[@lyncphotos]

Thank you for this. I am trying to write an artist statement for my latest project… your feedback is appreciated

[@dimaermolenko98]

Maybe some artists have more to say their art than you ! I mean a short but cheesy statement may sound just as bad.

[@williamkazak469]

@@dimaermolenko98 I didn't say short and cheesy. An artist statement can get to the point quickly without being three or more pages long. Artist's are not necessarily good with words. If you want to write a long statement, just include a link.

[@petronillahohenwarter9733]

I like the simplicity - because an Artist Statement is in many ways our own description... if you see art critics they bring some stuff so complicated across BUT at the end we want to reach peoples heart and mind :) a clear bold and simple way of describing our passion is recommended

[@catherinejames2734]

Just what I needed. Thank you. I’m nervous about entering an art competition mainly because of all the information they want as well as the art statement. The painting is the fun part.

[@sergiogomezart]

Yes, we all prefer to do the art. Hope this video makes it easy for you. :)

I'm so glad you found the video helpful! Writing an artist statement can be tricky, but I'm glad I could simplify it for you. Thank you for subscribing!

[@beautifulmorning7103]

Sergio, Thank you so much for your wonderful insight and help. I love your own statement a lot. It seems you are painting the aura of a person. That is so interesting and I believe, has not been done before . Love it a lot. My goal is maybe in a way related, because I love to show the beauty of nature and all living beings. All the beautiful shapes of nature are amazing and I want to show them.

[@sergiogomezart]

Thanks so much for the comment. Sounds like you have a great idea about your art. Keep it up.

[@amylynntorres7244]

This is exactly what I needed! I'm working on an application for an art society membership, and I need to make a good impression with my statement. Followed along with the video, and now I'll make some changes to make it more my own. I took Sergio's Udemy course a year ago, and it was also super helpful for me!

Need multiple languages? Not a problem. It's an easy step if you watch my next video on how to use AI to summarize your artist statement. Same tool, ChatGPT, can translate it for you in any language. and Free!!!

I was recently taught that the Artist Statement is supposed to be in 3rd person.

[@GhulamHussainVisualArtist]

I'm an artist from Sindh, Pakistan. Why is an artist's statement important? Why shouldn't artists be free?

[@sergiogomezart]

you dont have to be one or the other. You can know how to write about your art and also be free. :)

[@SohanaSultana-qm4kc]

Please help me

[@henrytheworst]

This is very helpful - but I’m just going to be the one to say it: using AI for ANY creative purpose is a bad idea. Imagine writers using self-generated AI art for book covers. Please I beg artists to stop doing this to each other. Words are art

[@sergiogomezart]

i think there is a difference between letting AI to do the all work vs using AI to help you with the sentence structure and finding the right words.

[@majdavojnikovic]

Figurative is not abstract. They are opposite. Art can be figurative or abstract. If I red what this guy wrote I would think that he bs public.

[@sergiogomezart]

Perhaps you have never heard the term "Figurative Abstraction." Abstract art can be figurative representation (Pablo Picasso), or totally non-representational (Jackson Pollock). A simple Google search will clarify it for you. :)

[@majdavojnikovic]

@@sergiogomezart I heard it, and it is nonsense, like many other terms that people use while describing art, just to sound clever. Picasso was a figurative painter. He always represented something or someone. I suggest you to open a dictionary and find the definition of both terms. To me, it sounds like you explained a shape as a circle-sqare shape. It's a circle but it is a square too. If it has a figure, or material object that can be recognised as such, or even reminds on something or someone from fantasy, it is figurative, if it doesn't, it is abstract. Your paintings are strictly figurative, they represent a stylizied human figure each, if they are those shown in the video. They are not abstract in any sense. They are stripped of detail, they are not realistic, they are stylizied, but they are not abstract. Abstract is something else.
