ABOUT
ARTISTIC STATEMENT
I commenced my artistic career with pen and pencil drawings in the style of Surrealism and Fantastic Realism, subsequently developing a predilection for abstraction. My principal source of inspiration is the multifaceted aspects of human existence, encompassing a vast array of elements such as speeches, experiences, thoughts, feelings, memories, and longings. Additionally, I draw inspiration from the intricate structure of our world and the natural environment, and the manner in which we interact with and are shaped by these entities.
My current work is primarily focused on acrylic painting, mixed media, and the creation of sculptural objects, with the production of several series occurring concurrently. The specific techniques and materials employed in a given series or theme are contingent upon the artist's creative vision and the desired outcome. The tactile experience of the paintings may exhibit evidence of the creative process, such as the presence of cracks, bumps, and indentations. Conversely, the surfaces may appear smooth, yet subtle indications of the artist's handiwork may be discerned. My artistic practice encompasses a diverse range of approaches, from those that adopt an experimental, process-based methodology to those that adopt a more conceptual stance.
The works reflect a multitude of aesthetic and emotional aspects of the world, including the transience of existence, personal experiences in the context of self-discovery, and social issues. The works are to be understood as a dialogue between light and shadow, between the visible and the hidden.
The objective of addressing the vulnerability of our existence is to create an awareness of the preciousness of life and to inspire individuals to identify with their own experiences through the colors and shapes depicted in my works. In a world that is often characterized by a lack of contemplation and a tendency towards superficiality, I aim to provide a space that offers an opportunity for individuals to engage in a process of appreciation and reflection on the beauty of the present moment. The objective of my artistic endeavors is to acknowledge and celebrate the delicate nuances of existence. This encompasses the acknowledgment of the oft-overlooked minor miracles.
