MANIFESTO

Il Futuro ha un Cuore Antico The Future has an Ancient Heart_ Carlo Lev I am a Future Sentimentalist. We live in an increasingly digital environment. We are used to mirror like surfaces of Smartphone’s, computers and tablets. This touching and swiping leaves no trace, no memory, no emotion. Emotions are irrelevant in the age of data. But I see value in emotions and humanity, there is a deeper truth to find in human feelings. Curious and with a keen eye I observe the world around me, and translate this into concepts. Stemming from my own views on societal issues. I create from a place of passion, emotion and critically asking why? Which is what I want to provoke and awaken with my work.

I seek to forge unexpected partnerships to create works that have surprising detail and elevate and challenge modern society. I want to combine data with emotions.

I want to challenge societies perceptions and ideas. Not accepting information for truth, because it is presented as such. 

The media in which my concept manifests is depending on the concept rather than the media. I have the desire to explore the legacy of the old masters and cultural heritage in combination with new technologies. The deliberate act of keeping cultural heritage from the present for the future, but while doing so seeking out the new. Combining the know how of industrial design with the poetry of art. I am a Future Sentimentalist. I make with passion, emotion. Using craft and technology to critically questioning our society.
