Artist Interview

Artist Interview 3 - Gigga Hug

Gigga Hug creates her art on the mobile phone. Taking a photo or a painting as a starting point, she creates a new image out of the given material using different image editing softwares. What other people use for enhancing their Social Media representation, for Hug becomes an art tool. For her, this means she has total flexibility in when and where she can make art – a production process that is adapted completely to the screen based contemporary society of our times. Hug was trained as an art teacher and has been working as an art teacher and art educator for over ten years.
