One of the world's most awarded creatives has been announced as a festival guest
A month ago, here the upcoming Days of Communication, the renowned international advertising festival gathering communication and marketing professionals at Hotel Lone at Rovinj.
With the 6th edition of the popular festival fast approaching, the organisers keep adding reputable names to the list of speakers. The latest guest to be announced is Graham Fink, one of the world's most awarded creatives and a living embodiment of this year's festival theme - synergy of technology and creativity.
Graham Fink is a multimedia artist who expresses himself through film, drawing, painting, and photography. He's best known for employing modern technological advances to develop a new approach to creative expression: he draws figurative portraits with his eyes, with the help of special computer software. Take a look at the remarkable process in the video below:
Fink is also known for his reputable career in the advertising industry. At the age of 36, he became the youngest ever president of the Design and Art Directors Association (D&AD). Five years later, in 2001, he founded 'thefinktank', a conceptual production company and ideas forum. He served as Executive Creative Director at M&C Saatchi in London until 2011, when he became Chief Creative Officer at the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather China.
In 2014, he had his first one-man exhibition at London's Riflemaker gallery, called NOMADS. In 2015, he had his second exhibition in London, entitled Drawing with my eyes.
