More quotes by Trevor Aloka

At least every artist I know is creating art as a form of advocacy for something. It could be politics, the environment, or humanity.

My work is about celebrating resilience, hardship and the beauty that is embedded in those things

As an artist, your voice becomes louder if you’re championing a certain cause

I acknowledge the fact that an artist can be more than a creator of art, but also become an audience for another artist’s work

As an artist I believe that if I create solely for my immediate people, I will be in my own cocoon
