I am peeling away the layers that<br />

aren’t me. If I had it my way I<br />

would paint the whole city until<br />

my body collapses. But there is<br />

rules put in place regulating<br />

creatives, what<br />

does that say about<br />

us as a society?<br />

8-I've noticed some Arab<br />

calligraphy in your artwork, would<br />

you consider your work to be<br />

contemporary Middle Eastern art?<br />

Yes, I would consider it<br />

contemporary middle eastern art<br />

but not because of the calligraphy…<br />

but because I did it… and I am<br />

Middle Eastern … and my art work 9- Is ridikkuluz your pseudonym?<br />

is me and I am my art work. Yes it is. Funny. I got it from Harry<br />

Potter and then twisted the letters<br />

to make it look more appealing. In<br />

the book the spell is used to make a<br />

joke out of what you fear the most.<br />

Maybe I fear myself?<br />

10-Tell me about the kind of praise<br />

or criticism your work has received.<br />

Well it usually varies. Not<br />

necessarily positive or negative but<br />

more questioning. “Why can’t I tell<br />

the gender?” “Why is it sad?” … I<br />

like that it makes people want to<br />

stare. Most critiques and reviews<br />

are on my site: ridikkuluz.com
