Artist Statement







First, I have scratched faces from the past in the mortar. I took a walk down memory lane, putting next to each other those reflections, blurred in the shade of time… Then the gathering silhouettes with their foggy faces appeared on snap-scenes of another journey on the canvas. And now, we’re rooting into the earth and sky… 

I am convinced that “art asks questions”. Paintings are formed in response to questions emerging from the inner world, which are directed outward. While painting, such questions aimed primarily at self provide accompaniment to the “search” for form and sense. In materializing this “search” I believe one must remain independent, original and usually “solitary” at the point of creation. However realization relies upon strength. A strength which can be aided by “collective initiatives”, in forming the environment to realize creation and in shared production. To this end I organize a wide range of national/international “art camps” and group exhibits. I also take part in similar events, symposia and group-shows organized in different countries. I believe such collective bases are illuminating for the individual artist, not only as the effect of the specific “event”, rather as the sum of works presented.
