The perfect client

As I often say, I’ve always enjoyed working on the experimental side of art. It gives you the freedom to express your ideas authentically, without the pressure of a client interfering with your mood or creative integrity.

But in this particular case, my “client,” Ștefan Mototaianu—also known as Radiospacepop—was a thrill to collaborate with. I chose to create a series of videos that would visually echo the emotions I experienced while listening to his music.

Home-made actionism… in action

The short video project combined 3D animation with elements that revisited actionism in its most raw and immediate form. I experimented with water-based ink painting—spraying ink blots onto a surface of liquid—and used the resulting shapes as Rorschach-like, moving stains. These organic textures were then layered and blended with the 3D-generated scenes.

Where tradition meets technology

The result can be seen in the final video: a mixture of traditional and digital techniques, fusing handmade gestures with computer-generated visuals. This hybrid approach allowed me to explore an experimental territory I’d long been curious about—abstract video-making that uses body movement and its residual forms as core elements of the narrative.
