“The object of my creativity and art is the internal, visual world that I perceive, shaped by my experiences and emotions as a reflection of my interactions with the external world. My creative focus lies in the realm of inner vision.” Evgenii Brukman

“Обьект моего творчества и искусства: внутрений, визуальный, зримый мною мир, пораждёный моими периживаниями и чувствами как отражение воздействия от внешнего мира. Обьект моего творчества - мир внутренего видиния.”, Евгений Брукман

“The artists express their identity through the creative act, revealing themselves in an atmosphere of complete spiritual freedom—a world where they unite with the spirit both from within and beyond, the divine. My creative process involves harnessing my free will to envision my inner world, shaping form through which I can convey deeper meaning. This spontaneity, born from the harmony of spirit and the brush guided by that spirit, creates a sense of the non-man-made, dematerialized, and visible essence of my inner landscape.”, Evgenii Brukman

“Художник как личность проивляется в творческом акте, выевляетса этим актом в атмосфере и миреполной духовной свободы, в мире единства с духомизнутри и из вне, с виши. Мой творческий метод: своей свободной волей, через видиние моеговнутренего мира, созидая форму и через неё явырожаю содержание. Полная непроизволностьрождаемая в процессе творчества из гармонии духа идвижемой духом кистью художника доёт ощущенияне рукотворности, дематериизовоности и видимостимоего внутреннего мира.”, Евгений Брукман

Brukman about his art “I paint freely, passionately, and dynamically, using volumetric forms that move both vertically and horizontally. I create these forms all at once, rather than gradually, as in other styles. My volumetric shapes immediately convey light, tones, half-tones, reflections, and shadows. Light and shadow define their volume. The subject of my art reflects the world of my inner vision, and its realization in visible images and forms is metaphorical, meaning it is defined in a nuanced way.
The object of my art is the invisible external world of forms and associations. My inner world—comprising my feelings, experiences, and images—constitutes the subject of my art. Its realization in visible forms expresses itself through the method of metaphor, conveying content and meaning through these shapes.”

The focus of Brukman’s art lies in humanity’s rational ability to absorb and imaginatively process forms that may not accurately represent the physical world but are metaphorically capable of revealing its essence and meaning. These forms, refined by various elements of nature—such as light, color, tone, space, transparency, texture, volume, planes, movement, stillness, and energy—serve as instruments of artistic creation.

The form in Brukman’s paintings is fundamental. Through this form, he conveys thoughts, ideas, and attitudes towards life. His creative process involves depicting on canvas an imaginary form that seeks to detach itself from its material state. It is also an effort to transcend conventional constraints within the realm of conceptual simulation, abstract emotions, and visual communication.

After its great success in Westerpark Amsterdam in 2017, the traveling interactive light sculpture illuminated Venice for the first time, accompanying the 58th Venice Biennale Arte in 2019. Giardini Marinaressa, where Clifton Mahangoe exhibited his site-specific media work, is located just a 10-minute walk from the main venues of the Venice Biennale Arte, Giardini and Arsenale. Amidst the beautiful park, his fascinating video and light installation was captured in a three-dimensional 2.4-meter fiberglass globe, which was specially created for the framework of the Venice Biennale Arte 2019.
Over the years, Clifton Mahangoe has studied the behavior of light and its interaction with surfaces. Through precise observations of how light affects various materials, and thanks to the innovative technology he developed, Mahangoe has been able to synchronize his work with the sun. During the day absorbs sunlight, and in the evening, it projects a film inside a translucent globe over 360°, marking a unique achievement in Clifton Mahangoe’s artistic career.

Visiting the light art exhibition in the old factory was a mesmerizing experience. The juxtaposition of cutting-edge light installations against the raw, industrial backdrop of the factory created a unique and captivating atmosphere.

Clifton Mahangoe participated in Berlin’s first Light Art Weekend, titled < Extended Mind >, held from November 30th to December 2nd, 2018. This group exhibition, curated by ARTE LUCE, focuses on light art and aims to merge scientific theories and concepts with international light art in unconventional venues. The inaugural Light Art Weekend took place in the historic basement of Alte Münze in Berlin, featuring site-specific and immersive light installations by 12 artists, all inspired by the Extended Mind theory.

The Sphere 3D by Clifton Mahangoe brings stillness to the city: a moment of wonder and connection with each other. In the work, two opposites come together as harmonious partners. They form perfect circles surrounded by vibrations and spirals. In the projections, abstract dots and lines, images of sunlight, water reflections and swirling flocks of birds alternate.

On my way to the artist’s studio, a sense of anticipation fills the air. Each step feels like a journey into the depths of creativity, a pilgrimage to witness the birthplace of art itself. Entering the studio is like crossing a threshold into another realm. The scent of paint lingers in the air, mingling with the artist’s aura, infusing the space with a palpable energy. Being here is more than just observing; it’s an immersion into the artist’s inner world. Every brushstroke, every color choice, speaks volumes about their thoughts, emotions, and dreams. It’s a privilege to witness this intimate exchange between creator and creation, to glimpse the raw essence of artistic expression. In the artist’s studio, time seems to stand still as the outside world fades away, leaving only the magic of the creative process. It’s a reminder of the beauty that lies within each of us, waiting to be unleashed onto the canvas of life.

As the Pioneer disappeared into the cosmic tapestry, the planets it left behind bore the scars of a never-ending cycle—a cycle in which the pursuit of progress came at the cost of the very worlds that once cradled life. And so, the cosmic dance continued, a relentless ballet of exploration, exploitation, and abandonment, echoing through the vast expanse of the universe.

As the humans exploited the resources of the newfound planet, they failed to grasp the consequences of their actions. The cycle repeated itself, planet after planet, leaving behind a trail of desolation. Each departure was followed by the haunting echoes of a dying world.
And so, the Pioneer continued its journey through the cosmos, a harbinger of doom for the planets it encountered. The humans within, driven by an unrelenting thirst for expansion, moved from one celestial body to another, unaware that the cycle they perpetuated was an echo of their own insatiable desires.

Once upon a time, in the vast reaches of the cosmos, there existed a relentless cycle that echoed through the galaxies—a cycle of exploration, exploitation, and abandonment. In a distant corner of the universe, a spacecraft named "Pioneer" descended upon a serene planet called Earth. As the Pioneer touched down on the verdant landscapes, its occupants, humans from a distant star, emerged with a hunger for resources and an insatiable curiosity. With advanced technology and an unbridled desire for progress, they began extracting the planet's riches, unaware of the delicate balance they were disrupting.

Light art transcends mere aesthetic appeal, delving into the philosophical realms of perception, existence, and the nature of reality. At its core, light art interrogates how we experience the world, challenging the boundaries between the visible and the invisible, the known and the unknown. By manipulating light, artists create ephemeral, transient works that emphasize the fleeting nature of reality and the impermanence of our experiences.

Clifton Mahangoe, born in 1973 in Suriname and based in Amsterdam, is an artist renowned for his video and light installations. His work places a significant emphasis on stillness, spirituality, and the meditative properties of natural phenomena. Central to Mahangoe’s artistic practice is the circle, symbolizing infinity—a line without a beginning or end. His installations often feature intertwined images of running water, reflections, shadows, and stars, aiming to mesmerize and soothe viewers, while mediating the healing effects of nature, particularly water.

As a passionate light hunter, my appreciation for the art of the light artist Clifton Mahangoe runs deep. His body of work resonates with me profoundly, especially because of our shared love for light and circles – a shape that symbolizes unity, continuity, and the infinite. Circles have always captivated me. They are perfect in their simplicity, yet infinitely complex in their representation. They embody a sense of completeness and are a testament to the cyclical nature of existence. In the art of Clifton Mahangoe circles take on an ethereal quality, glowing with an inner light that seems to pulse with energy. Each illuminated ring he creates feels like a window into another dimension, a portal where light and form merge to create an experience that is both visually and emotionally stirring.

My first encounter with Clifton Mahangoe’s Sphere took place in the winter of 2018. After arriving at the freezing Amsterdam train station, Clifton immediately took me to Westerpark. Battling through the darkness and biting wind, I suddenly saw a surreal, otherworldly, blue-glowing body. It captivated me with a magic that drew me ever more powerfully into its spell. Fascination and fear intertwined, like a sailor entranced by a siren’s call, drawing me into uncharted waters. This overwhelming experience marked the beginning of an exciting and unforgettable journey. Follow for more..

In the mirrored surface of the astronaut’s helmets by Lucien Dulfan, we glimpse a world beyond our grasp, an enigmatic realm of uncertainty and uncharted territory. This reflection serves as a poignant reminder of the vastness of the cosmos and the mysteries that lie beyond our reach. It also reflects the artist’s inner world. The subconscious realm is a rich tapestry of thoughts, emotions, and memories that often lie beneath the surface of conscious awareness. Like the unexplored galaxies and planets in space, the subconscious holds untapped potential and hidden depths waiting to be discovered.
