Yet, he insists that he is just “another normal kid who was lucky enough to survive his cultural shock and grew up being brainwashed by his parents to believe that he was the most talented kid on earth.”
Born the son of an artist, Maghazil developed a love for the art of drawing and fine arts early on in life, which ultimately led him to the world of architecture, the focus of his Bachelor’s
degree. Armed with his first degree and an insight to a 3D universe Maghazil found himself immersed in the art of sculpture making. He explains how each phase ushered in a new role, “My role as an artist gave me the confidence to express my complex ideas through acting in front of the camera and on stage; my experience in front of the camera made me fall in love with filming thus sitting in the director’s chair; and of course all those experiences helped shape me to present myself well and be a part of UTURN Entertainment – an online production company.”
So, you are an architect by trade, you’ve been in front of the camera, behind the camera, a filmmaker, a multimedia artist and an entrepreneur. How do you define yourself?
Unfaithful, because I fell in love with all of these professions at the same time.
What is a typical day like for you?
I am a newly wed and I was concerned how this would negatively impact my art, but I was wrong. I’ve found myself to be more organized and now with a muse. My average 24 hours are always a mixture of digesting and puking weird information; I watch and read completely random things until I ultimately overdose and produce art.
Who do you create your art for?
I think the right answer is that I’m creating it as an offering to my art demon, but when I remember that I always embed secret messages in my sculptures I realize they must have been made for future artists.
Who do you create your documentary or directorial projects for? Is the audience in this case different from your art audience?
My film projects at this stage are mostly commercial but definitely with an artistic twist. Certainly the audience differs between each project, and I love this challenge, to influence children, elders, artists and sometimes those with opposing views.
How different is your artwork from your work at UTURN?
At UTURN, I’m bound by making profit therefore it is a bit difficult to perform art for the sake of art. On the other hand, I’m completely willing to spend a lot of time and money on my personal art projects whether they end up in the garbage or in a gallery.
