Demosthenes N. V.
Artist statement:
As a pencil artist I feel control and practice are the two elements that show skill and potential, recreating nature as best as possible is my ultimate goal when it comes to dry media. My knowledge in different media is growing and I plan on expressing my creativity in many different ways, sculpture and 3-D art have caught my eye recently. I am very critical of my content when it comes to political or awareness projects while I still enjoy the beauty of nature including portraits, landscapes, and whatever may catch my eye. My motivation is the reactions of the viewer and the art itself. Planning for larger pieces is becoming a new experience that is taking over my previous process of “just doing it”.

American Business



Artist: Demosthenes N. V. 
Title: American Business
Dimensions: 1'6" wide x 10' tall
Media: found objects, suitcase and vintage American flag

Artist Statement: The main idea of this piece is all about the important people running our country are concerned with the business side of this country rather than the people. The suitcase is representing the business man tossing away the constitution of our country and the flag represents those ideals. This representation of American business is meant to show how corporations are over throwing our already deceitful government. Our constitution has become an opinion; with enough money any man sporting a brief case can just discard our values and constitutional rights for his own personal gain. The message is not just aimed at business men, but lawyers, congressmen, judges, etc. who are seeking out the loop holes for the companies to control without question. Not only are they responsible for causing corruption in our system. But we the people can do nothing to stop it. Most don’t care, and the few that do have no power over such monopolies. We the people are living in a business full of lies…I don’t see a great and power country I see a business wanting more and more while the people get less and less…
