About me

My name is Alis Pomazan and I'm a creative. Currently I am based in Delft and Rotterdam, Netherlands; however, I was born in Croatia. At the age of two I moved to Egypt then at the age of six I moved to Angola for a year and then finally Dubai for 10 years. 

This greatly affected my work as I tend to bring in a wide range of knowledge about different cultures, societies and religions. For example Dubai is known for its luxury, and as I lived there for a long time I saw how it impacted the people around me. As a child it was a massive jump from living in Angola to Dubai, as there is a massive cultural difference between them; therefore I created ‘With love, from Capitalism’. An artwork which is meant to capture the corruption and toxicity side of money.  

Currently I am studying Advertising and beyond in Willem de Kooning academy and as part of the program I am participating in a social practice called “Cultural diversity”. This has given me the knowledge to expand my projects in the social side of advertising. Which has benefited me greatly as I am now able to merge the commercial and social sides of advertising, often using both of them for every project.

A key recurrence with all my artwork is that they are derived from a personal meaning and motivation, allowing me to independently explore the topic with a researcher perspective however have the end outcome of an emotional perspective. Moreover, my artworks never have a consistent medium, instead I focus on the conceptual side  rather than the execution. Due to me using heavy emotional topics I have to be cautious with how it affects or is perceived by others. That is why I strongly focus on the conceptual side, as I want to make sure my works are clearly understood and are able to connect with my target audience.

If you are looking for someone to tie together social and commercial topics, then you are at the right place.

I’m always on the lookout for new projects or work, therefore please feel free to contact me.
