Profile Whispers: “Who

am I?”

Clear profiles, mysterious personalities.

Do you recognize which personality the profile belongs to? Answers starting on page 26

Here are some photo art objects based on my portrait sculptures of personalities.

In my photo art objects, I combine portraits I have created with my post-creation art photography, creating a new reality from this symbiosis of emotions. Here, several artistic techniques for different meanings, stories, and narratives flow together simultaneously and are composed into a single art object. There are various real and unreal people who form a controversial group, as well as certain disruptive factors that do not fit in.

„ Walk through Fame“

The sculptures depict portraits of personalities that are prominent in the minds of the public.

In my portrait sculptures, visitors can literally walk through the minds of these personalities and experience their legacy in a completely new, immersive way.

Every person has multiple facets

The portrait sculptures are also designed to reflect the facets of the personality. From one side, the person is easily recognizable and reflects the facets that everyone knows from the media. From the other side, the viewer finds it difficult to recognize who the person is. Many facets lie hidden, mysterious, and invisible. Only when one goes through the mind and the visible facets become clear, does the viewer recognize who the person is.

Each portrait is created individually. The execution is highly variable in color, shape, and style. I create several drafts and, together with the person being portrayed, can develop variations for the final version.

The selection of personalities spans history, professions, talents, titles, achievements and discoveries.

Following are further drafts with variations.

William Shakespeare

(c. 23 April 1564[b] – 23 April 1616) was an English playwright, poet and actor. He is widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world‘s pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England‘s national poet and the „Bard of Avon“ or simply „the Bard“. His extant works, including collaborations, consi st of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. Shakespeare remains arguably the most influential writer in the English language, and his works continue to be studied and reinterpreted. Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Sometime between 1585 and 1592 he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part-owner („sharer“) of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain‘s Men, later known as the King‘s Men after the ascension of King James VI of Scotland to the English throne. At age 49 (around 1613) he appears to have retired to Stratford, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare‘s private life survive; this has stimulated considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, his sexuality, his religious beliefs and even certain fringe theories as to whether the works attributed to him were written by others.

I am a self-taught artist, but in 1978, after three years of observing my artistic development, I was recognized as an artist by the Düsseldorf Art Academy. Only for this reason did I receive a residence permit for Germany, which was limited to my artistic activities.

I Ivo Ivica Cenkovcan

I, Ivo Ivica Cenkovcan, am an artist from Croatia and have lived in Germany since 1975. After dropping out of school and training several times, I completed an apprenticeship as a hairdresser. As a trainee, I became Croatia’s runner-up. Nevertheless, I only practiced this profession for a few months. Then I volunteered for military service. I did that because only men who have completed military service receive a passport.

My goal was to travel around the world and not live in the communist former Yugoslavia. That’s why I traveled to some European countries as a musician. I was the solo guitarist in several bands, but that didn’t satisfy me because I couldn’t make decisions on my own and there were often differences. I was looking for something else where I can decide on my own what and how I want to implement something.

Art has always fascinated me and I was told in school that you need talent for art. But when I visited some artists in their studio, I noticed that I can do that too. You just need will, ideas and a certain courage to experiment. It is very important to have a good gallery owner, manager or agent.

I always saw it in a similar way to Joseph Beuys: Everyone is an artist! When a person comes out of the bathtub, the dirt left behind on the edge is a work of art if you look at it from the right angle.

But I see it that way that every person is an artist of the work of his life.

I started with naive reverse glass painting, which is a tradition in my area.

Then I was discovered and promoted by the Italian gallery owner Viotti, in the Viotti Gallery Turin and the German gallery owner Hans Schenk, owner of the Schenk art auction house in Düsseldorf.

As an artist I am self-taught, but in 1978, after three years of observing my art development, I was recognized as an artist by the Düsseldorf Art Academy.

It was only for this reason that I received a residence permit for Germany, which was limited to my artistic activity.

The naive reverse glass painting did not satisfy me for long and I kept experimenting. In Germany I combined motifs from my Croatian homeland with my adopted home.

An interesting symbiosis emerged, which, however, did not completely satisfy me in the long run. I was increasingly concerned with the fast-paced way of life of our society, as an artist coming from the rural idyll to the urban world.
