Namasthay Featured in ArtistCloseUp - he got understood!

Pleased to share a new interview published by ArtistCloseUp, presenting my work as Namasthay and offering one of the clearest external views so far of the artistic ecosystem I have been building for many years.

The interview traces the path between music, literature, film, photography, documentary work, multimedia creation, and the more experimental bridges I continue to explore between art, science, technology and consciousness.

For a long time, my work has moved across several forms rather than remaining inside one discipline. Albums, books, films, portraits, essays, documentaries and research-driven projects have often developed in parallel. From the outside, this can look fragmented. From the inside, the movement is much more continuous.

The recurring thread is perception.

How do we remember? How do we transform experience into meaning? How do symbols, dreams, technologies, animals, places, images, sounds and stories communicate with each other? What invisible connections are we missing?

These questions have shaped the Namasthay project from the beginning.

The ArtistCloseUp interview also places the work in the context of the AI era. As artificial intelligence becomes more present in cultural production, I believe the artist’s role becomes even more important: not only to create images, sounds or texts, but to interpret, connect, contextualize and help people navigate complexity.

Technology can generate content. Meaning still requires presence, memory, vulnerability and human perspective.

This is why Namasthay continues to evolve as a multidisciplinary artistic project: music, cinema, writing, photography, symbolism, documentary work and research are not separate territories, but different ways of exploring the same inner landscape.
