About Me

“ With my art I search for true beauty in queerness. Queer as in gay or trans. Queer as in me. Queer as in humanity. Queer as in the weirdness on our world and our mind and the world’s we create through the stories we create. Humans are “weird” and why not embrace it. The structure of nature is also neat. ”

 

A queer artist from Estonia who has graduated from Tartu Art School as a graphic designer and Pallas University of Applied Science as a sculptor. He dabbles in different mediums but mostly focuses on digital art, graphic design and sculpture. Sometimes the idea comes first, sometimes the thought behind a piece comes later, sometimes he simply wants to test a style or a material or express his love for certain medias and characters or depict his own stories and creations.

Kurt consumes a lot of horror, sci-fi and biology related medias and themes and get inspired by them. He tends to draw lot of fanart in his free time of stuff that brings him the most joy and what helped him discover himself and help him find comfort. 

In Tartu you may or may not see some occasional stickers and posters of his around town. Occasionally I'm in exhibits (for example: "Every Person is Broken into Pieces" in ARS, "Tee/Paus" in Pallas Gallery, "Asja Armastajad" in Pallas Gallery, "Transgressive Joy" in Aparaaditehas)
