INTERVIEW: CRYPTIK - The Artist and The Movement | Inked Magazine
When you visit your website, the first thing you notice is the stories about other inspiring people who achieving great things — literally nothing about you personally. So, how would you introduce Cryptik, the person?
Well, I make a conscious effort to stay as low-key as possible. Because my art is ‘spiritual’ in nature, I always felt that the work should speak for itself and serve a greater purpose than self-promotion. It’s more important that I get the message out there and I don’t want to get in the way of that. Really, it’s about creating something bigger than myself that anyone can be a part of – the Cryptik Movement.
Most people might not think of Los Angeles, the home of Hollywood, and “great awakening” together. How do you see facilitating a great awakening?
I think there’s a lot more to Los Angeles than Hollywood, but you’re right…this is Babylon, which is why we need it the most here. LA is where the Movement started, but the goal has always been to reach as many people around the world as possible. Realistically, there’s only so much that I can do, especially as an artist, but I see so many people out there who are already doing incredible things to help others. I think collectively we can work together to help facilitate the continued evolution and betterment of our species. Ultimately, all I can do is work on myself and encourage others to do the same. I’m not a spiritual teacher, guru, or saint… I’m just here to share my personal journey and experience in hopes that it will inspire others to embark on their own spiritual path.
