About my art

I describe my own art like it is between abstract and representing tendency of art. My paintings are something from a normal way to living and about a little moments of it. Separate feeling of my quiet existence and only part of moments leaves something for memories.

I do not copy what I see but I would like to learn to know the alphabets of the creation moment of the world. The secret language which is possible to sence with extremely sensitivity.

After my existing I am wondering: Which part of me will stay and will the other part disappear? What is the element of human being? Which time did soul starting to live? Why am I seeing shadow in the light? What is under the surface?

In religion of Hinduism they believe that the mother of Buddha was a god who kept the veil of illusion in front of our eyes to prevent to see our spiritual reality. The painting has own two-dimensional world. There is no place to cover the spiritual reality.

Emptiness is a safety place but from the other direction there is a blank place inside of me. Sometimes I am trying to fill that place by painting. In a working process I realize, that painting is always an adventure between the constructing and dissolution usually. I am exciting to try different kind of experiments with materials and searching something new.
