It is within humanity’s nature to create, not to excel nor prove to the world that we can but to simply create. This intrinsic drive is at the core of Bissessar’s work as an artist. Vimaldat Bissessar, also known as Chris Bissessar is a Guyanese artist who predominantly works with oil paint to delve into the rich and dynamic world of contemporary art.
His artistic journey has evolved significantly over the years. Initially focused on aesthetics, his work has grown into a medium for storytelling. He strive to create stunning images that capture the viewer’s interest and allow their minds to wander, forming stories personal to the viewer. The interplay of color and movement is a central element in his art, serving as a conduit for highlighting concepts related to our environment, mental well-being, and individuality.
What truly fascinates him is the subjective emotional value of art—how a specific piece can make a viewer feel, the sensations it provokes and the personal connections it can foster. These emotional responses are intangible, incapable of being held, yet they are profoundly real and deeply meaningful to spark interest within one’s mind. Through his work, he aim to evoke these sensations, inviting viewers to engage with the pieces he create on a personal level and find their own stories within the canvas.
In essence, his art is not just about creating something beautiful; it is about crafting an experience and narrative that resonate on a personal level, pulling the viewer back to see more. It is an exploration of the human condition, seen through the vibrant lens of color and the fluidity of movement. Through his paintings, he hopes to inspire a sense of wonder and introspection, encouraging others to connect with the art and, in turn, with themselves.
