With his unmistakable style, he has conquered a loyal audience that goes from Goiânia to Rio, from São Paulo to Salvador, uniting hearts that live the same struggle.

Your sound is not just a heavy beat. It is a punch in the stomach, an invitation to look within, without a filter and without fear. The rhythms are intense, the words, sharp as blades, cut deeply. He talks about his life, the pain of growing up among obstacles, the wounds that do not heal and the incessant struggle to achieve something more.

"Carros e Joias" is MilFree's biggest hit, which quickly gained space throughout the country and attracted new listeners. The music spread naturally, conquering those who identified with its style and stories.

Ernst Kraft: Every splash of paint is a statement

Ernst Kraft in his studio in Malaga, Spain

Ernst Kraft, Dutch artist, based in Malaga, born in 1952. He follows practical studies of fine arts with the artist Jacques von Pell. In 1979 he starts his own studio in Amsterdam. In 1989, he moves to Malaga, Spain. Painting, installations, and sculptural constructions are his main disciplines

 

How would you describe your painting to somebody who has never seen it?

To describe something unseen I can't avoid labels, but they never cover the whole load. Here they are: abstract, expressionistic, dramatic, gestural.

In my work I use contrasts. Unpolished heavy lines and a drawing of filigrees move on rough surfaces and semi-transparent fields. The drama arises from their interaction.

Painting is using my hands, I like that. Every brushstroke is the result of muscles, controlled by my state of mind. Every splash of paint is a statement.

I hardly ever sit when in my studio. I paint standing, I walk around, move away from the canvas and I come closer again. I work on a wall easel, on the ground, or on trestles. I need to approach the canvas from all sides. It's like a warfare strategy. As in any battle I move cautiously sometimes, and at other times I make a bold savage attack.

Yet the finished work does not show the fight of its origin. It shows the grief and solitude that the struggle has left behind.

I also work a lot on paper. It is vulnerable, it requires a different mood. The paper wants to be caressed. Like a masseur, I rub the pigments with wax into the pores of the paper. The drawing is softer, more melancholic. I like the humble charcoal. I draw and erase, draw again and erase, creating a natural depth and chiaroscuro that only charcoal can yield.

 

How and by what are you inspired? How do you start a painting?

 

There isn't any muse whispering in my ears. Creating is the result of a state of mind, of unrest, fears, dreams and frustrations. Art is sublimation. Inspiration is a false myth, it is handing over your responsibility.I stretch the canvas and leave it there, we challenge each other while I do other things. That can take days. Now and then I touch the linen, the woodwork. There comes a morning that I feel before I even open the studio door: today. I don't think about anything, I only see the white. I am empty, as the new canvas itself, when I begin. I want to be surprised. Perhaps God felt the same way when he created heaven and earth.

Monument to the Unknown Migrant

An important aspect of your work concerns installations. Can you list a few, and where can we see them?

 

An example is not far away. Last year, in Tijuana, I built a sculptural construction, Monument for the Unknown Migrant for the art Triennial, which can be called very site-specific in terms of theme. A block-shaped fence, crowned with razor wire. In León, Guanajuato, also in Mexico, I made a labyrinth for the Alzheimer Foundation. A natural intervention of a maze of cobblestones. In the center I planted a walnut tree so that the walnuts would cover the paths like little brains, given their shape. A metaphor for the disease in which we lose ourselves in the maze of our brain.

Further afield, in Argentina, I made another construction, just restored this year, The House with the two Chimneys, a reference to duality. One house, two expressions, as Dr Jackel and Mr Hyde.

In Ostend, Belgium, I built a cube of 6.50 x 6.50 x 6.50 feet of reinforced concrete mesh, with five internal cubes. The iron lattice is very graphic, the density of the line changes with angle of view. Unfortunately, this is no longer visible to the public as it is part of a private collection.
