Artist Statement

Philo's work resides at the intersection of social theory and spirituality, engaging deeply with the dynamics of power within contemporary societal structures. His art investigates the influence of power—manifested through surveillance, thought control, and other mechanisms—on the collective psyche. These themes are drawn from the political and social realities of his homeland, where the actions of governing bodies have profoundly shaped his perspective.On a parallel plane, Philo’s creative pursuits delve into the realm of spirituality, seeking to transcend the material world and evoke a sense of sublime beauty. His exploration is rooted in philosophical inquiry, spatial dynamics, and mysticism, aiming to construct a dialogue between the tangible and the transcendent.

Technically, Philo employs a multidisciplinary approach, utilizing photography, installation, video, and painting to push the boundaries of visual language. By blending these mediums, he cultivates innovative forms that challenge conventional artistic categorizations. Presently, his primary focus lies in photography-based imagery, where he experiments with layered compositions and conceptual depth. Looking ahead, Philo plans to expand his practice by incorporating elements of painting and installation, exploring the possibilities of installation-paintings to create immersive, thought-provoking experiences. Through his evolving body of work, Philo aspires to provoke reflection, foster dialogue, and inspire a deeper understanding of beauty and the spiritual dimension of existence.
