Today we are with Alfredo “Aljob” Brito, Venezuelan integral artist, today he tells us part of his artistic work. Enjoy it!
Astrid: What artistic work have you developed throughout your life?
Alfredo: Since I was very young, I have considered myself a multifaceted person and I have developed art in different genres such as drawing, painting, graffiti, poetry, music and audiovisual production.
Astrid: What branch of art do you identify with the most?
Alfredo: The truth is I do not have a favorite branch, all the things I do, whether it is graffiti, music or everything I mentioned above, I enjoy doing it, only that there is a branch that perhaps dedicated more time than another and let’s say that in audiovisual production is the one I invest the most time since in one way or another it encompasses many of the other branches.
AstridWhen was the first time you painted?
Alfredo: The first time I captured something on the street was in 2005 and I remember that it was a character, then at the beginning of 2006 I started painting bombs and that’s when I fell in love with graffiti.
Astrid: Have you participated in events, exhibitions, forums, nationwide?
Tell us about that and what artistic work you participated with.
Alfredo: In the most significant graffiti events I participated, it was in the SDS crew exhibitions in the city of Valencia, I am also the producer of the annual Homemade Sound Festival and we have brought together different artists from various parts of the country.
Astrid: Are you an independent artist or do you develop within a crew or collective?
Alfredo: I’m an independent artist, but I also represent a collective called Monte y Culebra.
Astrid: What personal message do you try to project when you express yourself artistically?
Alfredo: I think I’m still on that search or maybe I don’t have a specific message; I only look for what I do to leave something positive to the people I reached.
Astrid: Any techniques that you still don’t handle and want to learn?
Alfredo: The tattoo; It’s an art I admire and have been curious to learn.
Astrid: What social impact do you think your work as an artist can have?
Alfredo: I faithfully believe that art transforms and can reach the minds and hearts of people, I believe that artists have the responsibility that what we do generates positive things for society.
Astrid: Between digital and manual tools, which is more comfortable for you?
Alfredo: I do very well with the digital, the manual (unless it’s painting) I don’t get much.
Astrid: Would you do this for the rest of your life?
Alfredo: I think that for me when I don’t have how to make art, it’s because I wouldn’t have a life.
