READ ABOUT ME

Hello!

My name is Uku Hain, in the future Uku Merkuri, a 25-year-old from a small village in Estonia.

Long story short – on an entirely ordinary workday, something completely unexpected happened. Suddenly – as if the entire world of Uku Merkuri’s art had been uploaded into my head at once – the thought came to me that I had to start creating art. Every idea and thought came in a second, every last detail – how to create, how often to create, what the world and story of these works would be… it was completely weird and strange!

From that moment on, I knew for certain that I would dedicate my life to creating art. I create only one artwork per year. If the piece doesn’t find a buyer, I destroy it and start anew. You decide the fate of the artwork – whether it lives on or disappears. And even if no one buys my works, that’s somehow fine with me, because the idea of creating something throughout life and then destroying it is uniquely fascinating to me.

Maybe I’m just going nuts and I fully understand if all of this sounds unbelievable or even ridiculous. Probably, if someone told me this, I wouldn’t believe them either – but I am telling the truth.

This is my artistic manifesto – I hope you enjoy it.

About Me

Hello!

My name is Uku Hain, in the future Uku Merkuri, a 25-year-old from a small village in Estonia.

I’m gonna be honest… I’m no smart man compared to Elon Musk or so… I dont have a degree or even a bachelor’s degree. Living my life baycheck to baycheck. Even though I was writing this text at the moment I was useing Google translate and Chat GPT to make the message more fancy. And about the art… never have been in any art school or so… only place where I’ve been in some random small down artschool where I sculpted a clay dragon and a few platesand thats all… But I’m not that stupid! I know that in Spain theres a painting called Mona Lisa and somewere there is a beutiful knight sky painting and also a painding called scream Scream. I’m honest, thats all I know about art.

What I want to say is…

(I dont even know…)

Im not super smart and dont know anything about art.

So the main question, why have I desided to make art?

·

(front of the screen trying to figure the answer)

·

(trying to think a way that it doesent sound like a fictional answer)

·

Basically… I was at work. I do things that only benefit the client and the company where I worked. Had my headphones on and listening some good rock music.

And then the weird thing happened…

Basically all of the info about the art and the world of Uku Merkuri was in my brain… it happened like in a second. I know that I sound weird but it was like… uploaeded to my brain. IT WAS LIKE……. FIST against a wooden table! AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN… I knew. (proovin öelda et see info oleks nagu mulle realselt laetud kellegi poolt)

I’m going to create art.

WHY???

I dont know.

Only thing I know after that moment was… if I dont do it something bad will happen. Kinda like butterfy effect or something. I dont know what it is… but I’m kinda scared.
