KOVICOS ARTIFACTORY

Identity & Current Practice

The KOVICOS Artifactory is the active studio where KOVICOS artifacts are currently being conceived, developed, and shaped.

At this stage of practice, it functions as a working ground for multiple evolving collections, where ideas are tested through material, time, and repetition. It is not a finished institution, but a living process and space where paintings, sculptures, writings, sounds, and experimental forms are produced in parallel, responding directly to lived experience, memory, displacement, and philosophical inquiry.

Every work emerging from the Artifactory carries the KOVICOS philosophy:

“From something comes everything, from everything comes something.”

Vision (In Formation)

To grow into a globally recognized art-production hub rooted in authenticity, where imagination, craftsmanship, and philosophy converge to create artifacts that speak to freedom, resilience, and cultural transformation.

Mission (Present Focus)

To develop and refine ongoing art collections and projects through consistent studio practice.

To experiment with materials, symbols, scale, and form across disciplines.To

To document the creative process as part of the artwork itself.

To lay the foundation for future KOVICOS structures through disciplined creation.

Core Values in Practice

✓ Authenticity: Work grounded in lived experience and truth.

✓ Exploration: Allowing process, uncertainty, and experimentation to guide creation.

✓ Craft: Commitment to rigor, patience, and material integrity.

✓ Memory & Legacy: Treating each artifact as part of a growing heritage.

✓ Continuity: Building steadily, even in limited conditions.

KOVICOS Artifactory reflects the philosophy of Dotism as the infinite composition of personalities and moments. Each mark, sound, word, and action is a dot within a larger becoming.

This space is not only where works are produced, but where collections take shape, identities are clarified, and the future direction of KOVICOS is actively being formed.
