It has always been hard to describe
the nature of my work. In an attempt to do so, I feel that I reveal what I have
not managed to depict rather than the deepest message of my work.
Providing
a specific explanation deprives you of the possibility of a different interpretation.
However, explaining or analyzing some thoughts that led to the genesis of a
work of art is a sine qua non condition for the latter.
This
section of the works deals with the composition of two discrepant or
overlapping images which fall within the same framework. My major goal is to
create a short story with two images which at first seem to be incoherent but which
still have a common denominator, a common ground. The common denominator is the
space in which we are all moving, which is fragmentary and at the same time
cohesive conceptually. The association is the missing link between two images,
two experiences which do not always have an explicit rational connection. The oxymoron
and irony are basic elements of the synthesis. An absurd element, an
incompatible line changes the whole picture into a symbolism.
I
always act on the basis of my beliefs. I seek to elucidate and research my inner
motives with all means available. The representations are fundamentally
cognitive and in my laborious effort to follow an idea I have high expectations
from both myself and the spectators.
Just
like every form of art, painting is an arena of hard balances and intricate
human contradictions. The lyricism emerges from the anguish of
expression. The freedom attained while painting is the offspring of an inner
commitment. Whatever is complex has to give the impression of simplicity.
