Dr.med.univ. HIKMAT GOZAMI Martin

Biography

I was born in 1990 in Erbil, Iraq (north). My Family and I fled to Austria in 1991, there I grew up, live and work in its capital city, named Vienna. My parents were my greatest rolemodels. They inspired me in my career and character.
I am a Textile Designer, Fine Artist and a Medical Doctor.
Having told you about the most important basics around myself, let me introduce myself. Who am “I”? …

I perceive myself as a man and I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ.
I love my family and friends with fiery passion, my interests are just as widely distributed as my curiousity is deep. I am genuine and honest, my artworks are one of the many ways, but probably the most intimate way, to communicate between my surroundings and my inner self.

I believe that beautiful things will emerge due to intense struggle.
Thus, I will create drawings, prints and other media about love and rejection (“Schema therapy”, faith), individuality and unity, distance and proximity (Schopenhauer’s “hedgehog dilemma”), communication, information, patterns (natural or artificial), systematic thinking and embracing the random.

FAQs

Do you offer commission work?

If you are interested in commissioning me, please send me an e-mail with plenty of information (subject, material, technique, size, shipping / pickup,…) and I will get back to you. First of all, I will clarify whether your commission is feasible, following ethical and technical concerns. If that is positive, I will make a cost estimate.
Further, you may commission a digital illustration (for medical publication) and handwriting / calligraphy related work.
Please keep in mind, due to several factors I will not always be open to commissions but maybe you are lucky. Message me anytime.

Do you collaborate?

I (rarely) do collaboration works with other artists, preferably after I get to know them in person, however you are free to ask me anytime.

Can I use one of your artworks for…?

Please respect the creative, intimate process of my art, refrain from using my work (images, texts, concepts) for any purpose without my written consent. Thank you.

Are you up for interviews (for my blog / magazine)?

In general, yes, as I have already had some. You will need to prove your good reputation beforehand, and you need to send me your questions in written form – I will answer in written form or in speech, or in person if we can schedule a meeting (online or offline).
