Summary
An emerging art curator interested in exploring surrealist expressionism painting alongside technically-based new media artworks. With a strong background in Western philosophy and art history, I aim to apply my knowledge to foster critical and constructive discourse, establishing a sophisticated and elegant approach to displaying artists' works. My goal is to create exhibits that not only captivate the audience but also deeply connect them with the curated works of the artists.
Curatorial professional with deep understanding of collection management and exhibition planning. Known for enhancing visitor experiences and driving educational initiatives. Highly collaborative, adaptable to changing environments, and committed to achieving results. Skilled in research, project management, and team leadership with focus on fostering collaborative atmosphere.
