The Artist Stoop: Muka
Muka, a self-taught multimedia artist, discusses her journey and artistic style with host Jillian Zepeda. Muka's vibrant work explores themes of the inner child, mental health, and authenticity, blending luxury and everyday elements. She gained recognition with her solo show Sugar Coated and her art is featured in private collections worldwide. Muka's art is characterized by bright colors, grungy textures, and a playful, pop art aesthetic. She uses her art to express her inner child and challenge societal norms. Muka also discusses her upcoming collection, Synthetic Dopamine, which explores the theme of self-medication and instant gratification. In this conversation, MUKA shares her experience of being a part of a gallery and the process of becoming a program artist. She emphasizes the importance of networking and building relationships with other artists and galleries. MUKA also discusses the challenges and rewards of being an artist, including the constant thinking and planning that goes into creating art. She highlights the significance of working in collections rather than one-offs and the value of having a well-thought-out storyline in your work. MUKA also provides insights into the gallery selection process and the acceptance of rejection as an artist.
