“Death is unique, both deeply feared and peaceful”

artscum.org: Who are you?

Rudolf: I’m a horror artist and raw expressionist, born in Starachowice, Poland, and raised in Barnsley, England. My work reflects the raw emotion behind my interpretation of the things I feel or experience. and I’m also deeply inspired by the things I love, like horror movies, anime, games, death metal, and all forms of dark media. I create original, creepy, twisted, and unique pieces of art for people like me and for horror fans.

artscum.org: Darkness is not only the absence of light. What is lurking in the shadows (of our mind)?!

Rudolf: Without light and darkness, we as human beings wouldn’t be able to see the beauty of either of those two. In my view, darkness is one of the greatest things in life. It’s quiet, calm, peaceful, both a little warm and a little cold. And within the darkness, there is always a small light inside us.

artscum.org: What is the most important taboo in art?

Rudolf: I think the most taboo subject for us is death. Death is unique, both deeply feared and peaceful. It’s a natural part of being human and often portrayed in art, yet we’re still afraid of it. It is not taboo for me, but it is for other people.

artscum.org: What question would you ask the most evil person on this planet?

Rudolf: How they are feeling and what they are thinking about.

artscum.org: The world seems to become more and more a violent, unkind place. Greed and egoism seems to be the only impulse of any change. Did mankind still have the chance to build a peaceful, sustainable world for every living and feeling being or would it be better if somebody dispose everything in the sewer of the evolutionary failure?

Rudolf: Violence has always been a part of human history, and it’s effects can be both devastating and long-lasting. As a species, humans have a tendency to repeat the same mistakes, despite the lessons we’ve learned from the past. Ultimately, it’s up to us to find a way to break the cycle of violence and move toward a more peaceful future. It won’t be easy, but it is possible. Only time will tell if we can truly learn from the past and create a world where violence, war, and other destructive forces become a thing of the past.
