Isti Kaldor

Thesis: Manic depression triggered Isti Kaldor's artistic impulse to create, and this impulse has since been furthered by the environment in which he works, the hardships he has experienced, and his peers.

Artist statement

"My father once told me that life is filled with sorrow and brief moments of happiness. As a person living with mental illness, these moments, for me, are birthed in the act of creation. Painting a moment in time creates a sense of belonging in an otherwise judgmental world."

"Seemingly life paces us like the hands on a clock and as each moment passes we are drawn closer to the end, and yet time keeps ticking. While some stand still, others chase shadows, the sun, the moon and the cardinal directions seldom shift. Our perceptions of who we are and who we will become are forever changing. While our fragile realities dictate the pulse at which we change, we as humans remain the same...eternally seeking reverence."

any of several psychological disorders of mood characterized usually by alternating episodes of depression and mania —called also manic depression, manic-depressive illness

Isti's Environment

Hardships

"We will not be tempted to see art as the key manifestation of mind, but as the work of a human being at grapple with nature."

"I’ve let go a long time ago. But you never let go. I mean, it’s your mom. It’s a way to remember her."

People

"They're my garden and I'm the one with the green thumb."
