What was the starting point of your creative journey?
In the current difficult situation in the world (pandemic, war, etc) what is the role of art and artist?
I think the role of the artist is to express themselves and their personal truth. I think if an artist is sincere and has a relationship with their soul, humanity will resonate and inspire others.
All your art-works are mesmerising. But if you have to choose one (or two) of your works, what would it be? The most significant to your regard one?
How much time does the production of one sculpture take? For example, “Transmission”?
What would be a collaboration of your dream, if you can choose any living or even last artist?
Profound connection of human to nature is in the core of your creativity. As an artist but also as a human-been, do you feel sometimes a need to totally disconnect from the outer world in order to concentrate on your art?
Spirituality is another element which emerges in every or your art-objects. Where does it come from?
You have collaborated with Wayne Visual Ellies to digitalise your creations. Can you tell us about this experience?

A thin edge of seduction and the consumerism fetish is thoroughly blurred in Acosta’s art in the use of both light, and dark tones. Bold lines serve as a fashionable juxtaposition of a peaceful dream-like state and a vivid color, representing action and presence in the moment.
