Tishk Barzanji

United Kingdom

Tishk Barzanji is a visual artist based in London, UK. His work touches on modernism and the surrealist movement. His work revolves around space, color, deconstruction, breaking down boundaries, understanding the space of life in this fast moving world, and the human interactions within these spaces. Barzanji's inspirations come from his childhood in Kurdistan and his early adult years in London, where he moved in 1997. His early years in London opened his eyes, and it was there that his passion for architecture and art was born. Surrounded by the rich cultures of London and this new environment, the artist shaped his ideas, incorporating elements of architecture, fashion and socio-cultural tropes into his work. He went on to study fine art at Richmond upon Thames College, and physics at Loughborough University. 


Since 2017, Barzanji has worked with a variety of clients, such as Rockefeller, The New York Times, Victoria & Albert Museum, Somerset House, NET-A-PORTER and Gucci. The artist has also provided artwork for Pharell's The Good Time Hotel, and was recently featured in British Vogue.

Quarantine was a strange time, it led to desperation, dishonesty but also love and joy. Her mask falls off. She washes it for 20 seconds each night. "Did you meet someone else my love ?" No answer.
Silence bounced, fell off her tongue
and sat between us
and clogged my throat.
It slaughtered my trust.
It tore memories out of my mouth.
We exchanged blind words,
and I did not cry,
but blackness filled my ears,
blackness lunged in my heart,
and oxygen,
turned into suffocating my lungs.
Such silence has an actual sound, the sound of disappearance.
What a life to live?
You ditched something good for the unknown.
She tends, the dog in his apartment,
He visits in the evening.
We know where you met
That building where we laid our last kiss
We know you're looking for comfort, this isn't it.
I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.
Her Life became a bet
Throw the dice, see where it set
I wish you the best.

More on digital art

Generative art
Generative art refers to a way of creating artworks using an autonomous system. In digital art, these are usually generated from code and algorithms created by the artist, often with certain predefined parameters or systems. Although these parameters guide the final outcome of the work, generative art is generally a surprising way to create artworks, as the results are often unexpected and the number of possible outcomes can be infinite.
AI
AI art is a branch of generative art that uses artificial intelligence. Unlike other generative artworks, AI artworks use specific complex algorithms and models derived from machine learning. The most common methods for creating AI art today are GANs (generative adversarial networks) or proprietary prompting platforms such as ChatGPT, Sora, Midjourney, or Dall-e.
3D
3D art uses 3D software such as Blender, Cinema4D, Houdini, or video game software such as Unity to create works of art. In 3D works, artists can either arrange assets (the 'objects' in a 3D artwork or world) that they have created themselves or purchased from other creators to create elaborate environments and scenes (an approach to 3D art called 'set dressing'), or specialize in sculpting, which involves creating their own objects and assets.
Photogrammetry
Photogrammetry is a specialized 3D technique that allows 3D objects to be created from numerous photographs taken of an object or scene from multiple angles. These photos are then compiled to determine the specific positioning, shape, and dimensions of the object in space, and then converted into a 3D model. Initially developed for engineering and urban planning, photogrammetry has become a way for artists to produce extremely accurate 3D models from real-life images.
Collage
An extension of the traditional, plastic approach to collage, digital collage involves searching for and cutting out multiple images, extracting them from their original context, and recomposing them in a new arrangement to create a work of art. Artists can use their own photographs or find images on the internet.
Illustration
Digital illustrations are created using software such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, or Procreate. As with drawing on paper, the artist uses a stylus to sketch a figure or object, usually on a tablet, to construct a scene or artistic universe. Unlike traditional drawing methods, digital illustration is much more forgiving, as mistakes can be easily corrected and drawn elements and objects can be easily moved around within a scene.
Video
Video artworks primarily use a recording camera, but may sometimes include additional post-processing or editing to distort, modify or add additional elements to the image. Some artists use state-of-the-art recording equipment to create macro zoom-ins or time lapses, privileging fidelity to the subject matter. Others use additional softwares to significantly modify or warp the video, creating an alternative perspective on the world that surrounds us.
