In latin: actus: motion

The concept behind Actuism is the theory that all creative work is based on action and motion, Every work of art has a component of Actuism within it, every artsist reveals their personal story and perspective with each work created. Actuism goes to the roots of all forms of artistic expression. The theory of Actusim is the reduction in a composition focusing on the essential factors in an artwork, creating a confined space combined with the authenticity of the handwriting of the artist and the origin of where the artwork was created, in compliance with changs of the surroundings resulting in new modifications and interpretations. The viewer chooses the form which they are able to recognize and explain an artistic work.

Actuism can be seen as a form of minimal art, though the greatest difference lies in the implementation, not in the theoretical background. The composition, surface and the handwriting of the artist are the major components in Actuism.The number of possibilities to arrange the three lines is ifinite, even when it seems to be repetitive it is not so, every artist has their own rhythm that they unconsciously follow. Each work resembles a signature, where with every stroke and every movement of the hand, the tool that guides to an artistic confession of what the artwork is all about.
