Pikam, Karine Hayek as an Artist
“If I think back to when I’ve said: “Experiencing life through art”, I realize that I have probably used this word because I want to register the precise feeling which I have lived through creating my artworks, something like an approach to the world, which I both recognized and yet didn’t quite recognize, a space which was both in language, but yet not quite in language, at the limit of language but yet beyond it. I wouldn’t use the word understanding to describe such a moment because, unlike experience which is mobile and fluid, understanding is the feeling of being within the fold of language, positioned or placed by what you know. In my case, I did not know. I experienced, felt, tried, and let myself go step by step towards the philosophy of life. Entitled Pikam, my work is divided into series and diverse works, old and new, in which I aim to spread a personal thoughtful language of Love.
