Austin Cieszko
Student, Musician, and Filmmaker in Syracuse, New York
Austin is a musician, filmmaker, and photographer with a passion for creating inspiring art of any kind.
He believes that sound has such an immense potential to bring happiness and wonder, especially when combined with film or performed live. Artists like Jack Johnson, Flume, and Childish Gambino have all shown him how powerful and emotionally supportive music can be, and he hopes to create that same inspiration and happiness in others as others have done for him.
Visual art, video, and photography carry the same gravity and capacity in his life: be it capturing a moment that is astounding and beautiful in itself, or creating beauty from the simple and ordinary moments in life. He thinks that advocating and emphasizing art in this way creates space for the world itself to be seen in a more positive and beautiful light.
"I want my work not just to be consumed by others; I want it to host and spread feelings creativity, positivity, and inspiration to all."
