The Story
Color Thief is a narrative story, an intimate poetic documentary with shades of comedy. Based on a true story, the concept started after a series of inspiring interviews with high profile artists about what it means to be an artist. As an unanswerable question, I decided to reach out to them. I soon realized it was a question even the successful ones wrestle with.The story is driven by their thoughts and knowledge and putting them on a canvas. It offers a fresh perspective on the beauty and importance behind creation, a crucial form of communication between human beings that has been around since the beginning of time. Art was engraved in rocks, in caves and still persists into the present. Color Thief pretends to be a lyrical telling of these subconscious questions of the “artist”, the research of the meaning of art, and the freedom that gives you.This is the reason why artist fall in love with this project and become part of it
