“...a journey of self-expression...”
@paperboyo
@artoze.global
Human beings live to express, this
stirred art forms like; painting, acting,
dancing, singing, writing, sculpting,
photography, and more. Expression
of one's feelings like love,
frustration, sadness, loneliness,
happiness, fear, or passion curates
the kinda art that one stops by to
experience. Traveling through the
world an artist designs, through his
work is bliss on itself and when it's a
blend of two forms it’s magical.
Rich Mccor, popularly known as
@paperboyo, brings together the
art of photography with paper cutout
silhouettes. As mesmerizing
as the idea sounds are his final
products too. His vision is unparalleled
and he has the ability to find
any place encompassing him to be
his backdrop for the paper cutouts.
He believes in staying imaginative
and bringing creativity to art in your
own conception of style and art. He
quotes "I like to describe myself
as a photographer, but the reality
is I started doing my style of art
because I wasn’t a good photographer
so maybe I lean more towards
being an artist", in an interview with
Travel and Destinations.
The demeanor of the artist reflects
how humble he is as a person
which enables him to connect
with everything and everyone
around him. His personality is
soo pleasant and his style of
work is owned by him as he
calls it "Photography with an artistic
twist". The independence in his
craft makes him stand out from the
crowd. Hence we learn taking creative
liberty always puts you a stair
higher.
Rich Mccor celebrates creativity
among the youth and the upcoming
generation. He believes, creativity is
what keeps one going as any career
you pick requires the right amount of
your shades of uniqueness and creative
glow to it. Believing in what art
you curate as a child will teach you
important lessons such as self-belief
and confidence which will further
help you in embodying your
thoughts and ideas unmoved
from reality. He encourages students
to make art and motivates
them to believe in their ideas.
Make your passion your career and
you'll find yourself in love with your
work, more than worrying about
how to make money out of it, think
about how it's going to make you
happy and fulfilled with what you do.
That was a wise message from Rich
that we can take back home.
