The Voice of Feeling, Emotion, and Thought

RactD is the essence born at the intersection of feeling, emotion, and thought, manifested through works of art. The distinctive characteristics of RactD Art can be seen in the frequent use of warm, earthy, and monochromatic tones, paired with the exploration of various styles.

It begins with D’Classic, which features primitive and naïve forms, an interplay of figurative and natural elements, sometimes combined with shapes beyond logic. D’Classic leans heavily on the use of warm and earthy color palettes.

Then comes D’Deco, a fusion of decorative art with expressionist and abstract influences. D’Deco explores wilder, more imaginative forms and dimensions that transcend reason, yet carry rich meaning and thoughtful reflection.

Meanwhile, D’Abstract emphasizes emotion and feeling over anxiety or overthinking. This allows D’Abstract to be more open to interpretation and to evoke a wide range of emotional responses in those who view and experience it.

Finally, there is D’Mono, which focuses on monochromatic tones expressed through the interplay of lines, shapes, and dots. Minimalist in form, D’Mono conveys depth and meaning through simplicity.

D'Statement Artist

RactD prefers to tell stories and express ideas through art forms like painting, sculpture, drawing, or video instead of using words. RactD finds it hard to enjoy art when the artist is the main focus, taking attention away from the artwork itself. RactD believes that every artist has an element of mystery. As long as this mystery exists, artists will keep creating, turning unseen thoughts into visible art.


The artist and their work are equally important. Sometimes, the artwork can express feelings and thoughts in a way that connects with people across time, even beyond what the artist intended. Artists are human and not eternal. When they’re gone, their creations, filled with feeling and thought, will continue to be experienced and appreciated.

Mystery exists in the bond between humans and the universe. Time may reveal some aspects, but the mystery will always remain. This deep connection between humanity and the universe is what fascinates us. We go through a cycle of life that is both mysterious and wonderful. RactD’s art focuses on these stories, exploring emotions and thoughts in human life and our relationship with the universe. Understanding starts with ourselves and extends to others, nature, and the universe. By sharpening our sensitivity and awareness, we uncover deeper lessons in life. These lessons come not just from what we see or hear, but from being aware within ourselves.

 

In making art, RactD does not impose limits. The process flows honestly, allowing feelings and thoughts to shape each piece. For RactD, creating art is a meaningful and sacred experience.

 

“In your truth, find your power, in your power, create a world that echoes”
