Thor

It is only after we lose everything that we are free to do anything.

I remember when art, for me, was a pursuit. A journey. But the journey can only last so long. I uprooted myself from common, comforts of life. Through depression and alcoholism, I was able to stare deep inside the darkest corners of myself and find my way to a very raw dichotomy of emotional detachment and artistic freedom. Art is many things to many people. To me, it is now my entire world. Artists are superior individuals; we are creators, we are gods.

I can't ration the most accurate allegory or prose for how I see the world and how I live my life through my art, but most other artists will know the same glorious burden that I do.

In the end, my lust and desire for my creation is greater then my need for anything else in life. I currently reside in my home state of Pennsylvania with my cat, Ghost.

Some paintings are available for sale. Contact the artist for details and pricing.

Andrey Sorockin

Andrey Sorockin is a photographer from Finland. His passion for art came through his father. Though the inspiration comes from the society where he lives, things that he sees and things that he hears. Mostly he tries to show the loneliness of reality and the cruelty of society that claims to be "society of well being". But there is also a softer side of his art, his love for that only one.

He is very different from most Finnish artists, because he always has philosophy behind his art. He is also a writer, musician and likes to paint for relaxing.

Andras is a member of Helsinki Camera-club since 2006.
