MTArt: Being an Artist, with Walter & Zoniel

EPISODE 20 of 'All About Art': MTArt: Being an Artist, with artist duo Walter & Zoniel In this episode, I sat down with Walter and Zoniel, an artist duo represented by MTArt Agency. We talked about their art, which involves a multidisciplinary approach and often results in interactive and socially engaging installations. A central theme in their work is the sublime, but also the human condition through questioning our relationship with our surroundings. They work with different mediums by using nature or other tools such as handmade cameras or innovative printing techniques, which is also something we talk a bit more about later in this episode. Public art and accessibility are important themes for the duo, as they believe art is for everybody, so they enjoy creating pieces for the public domain. This episode is part of a special partnership with MTArt Agency, a certified B Corp® award-winning talent agency for the most exciting up and coming visual artists worldwide, and a creative agency that delivers exciting art-driven projects for brands, public bodies, and cultural organizations. While the art industry typically concentrates on selling art on walls, MTArt’s visionary approach focuses on investing in and supporting the people behind it. Thank you Walter and Zoniel for sitting down with me, and to MTArt Agency for this collaboration.
