This is my story.
Inspired by the fundamental Darkness in life and the full enlightenment off all entities driven by the grace of the occult, misty powers across the shadow of the world.
My work is about a trans-expressive generation living in bus stations, in empty spaces on the invisible frames and cracks in the walls . Where things are constantly moving and changing positions. Like walking around in the Urban cities, watching how the people dress up and dress their hair. I try to catch a glimpse of the recent or less recent past ,the near imperceptible transcendent future time .
But I never even make an intention to incorporate what I see extended on the street's billboards, in the showcases, in movies, or on TV's extraordinary compositions.
I always try to let things happen and continue. Even though the unsettling results are contentious, innovating the good reasons . Feeling like a surfer that is riding on the wrong waves.
A fundamental human transformation experiences spiritual , political and social Phenomenology.
Referring to a web of symbols, images, facts and thoughts,the works made today are not to be easily deceived.
Each work is foremost a family member or a friend, a political situation, a dream or something that interested or made sense to me.
It's about high and low emotions on a feeder road. The beetles' legitimacy not so visible to us, still they have been erupting this earth for over a million years and are still here, embraced by a huge project that may have been started when the Gods and Goddesses came down to us in the old Egypt and Sudan. I think of ways that only Voltaire could have explained to us. The shadow of the stars in resistance,something you will encounter and search for nowadays.
Exploring the many aspects and conditions of mankind, I'm asking myself the same naive questions in the days of abnegation wars. Such as why west and east cannot come together? Why were the Elves and the Horses , the Dwarfs and the Trolls, not lined-up but standing next to each other?
I seek to capture the personal essence of my models, making it fit in to my subjects in a day out of time. Trying to bring out their inner conditions and state of life. Characterizing their emotional sides, high or low, and bring it to the center. Minus what it is supposed to reveal to my concept, to fill up and complete my Universe. If that could be a reason, for me it is important.
I like to use the questioning technique of a philosopher. To get answers for new ways of expressive thinking,and about new future theories disagreed. Reducing the cold wind to come in and develop distraction.
I reinvent myself in terms of whichever relationship I'm involved in ,without a pen and paper, I'm not here. That I have realized now, 4 years after loosing my left eye. Having only one eye makes me firm, it is sufficient to work with little options and feel responsible for things that I believe in.
Being in the need for shared experience in art does not form a reaction. It is the strives that reveals the essence and make the subject breath.
This journey has for me been not to underestimate the power of contagious enthusiasm that eventually crystallizes itself in this direction.
The figurative works,including all types of styles and techniques, finally shows codified behavior. As an artist in a relationship to or with his work, committed to a spirit that is playful, childish and naked sometimes. That makes me a little more bitter-sweet today.
