artist statement

Hello, I am an aspiring student at Hunter College ready to take on a new chapter in the artistic world as a blogger of my creative digital work. My name is Daniel Gennaro Ventarola, and I am from Westchester County, New York. I have always been into the arts and media my entire life. I was a very artistic child. I was skilled enough to make it into the top art class in my high school and I had my work displayed in some local shows. My main focus was on painting landscapes with oil paint. I have a large collection of landscapes in my portfolio throughout the years. I love working out and being healthy. I love to cook many different types of healthy meals. I played varsity baseball and winter track. I always work out and try to stay in good shape. working out to me is like an art of the body. It helps relax the mind and takes stress away. Im obsessed with anything related to automobile. I love cars, I could tell you every car from every single brand thats on sale currently. I have a huge obsession with them. I love going to the auto show every ear and exploring what the artistic geniuses who craft these beauties have to display for us. I am looking forward to this next semester to bring forward all of these elements of my life into the digital world. I want to really highlight my interests and creative ideas on my blog and to perform to the best of my ability of doing the assignments in correlation to my inspirations in life.

Her amazing piece held many key elements on film and art are represented and displayed, in which we as students were lucky enough to witness in our own lecture. To make this piece she used archived material found on an old recording device. She studied a recording from the mid 20th century for 6 and a half years trying to decode what was being said. The archival material is extremely significant because it gives the audience into the past while the conversation was taking place. Once the this in turn makes the work feel easier to grasp and comprehend.   She also was able to make this masterpiece by making her work an interactive piece.
