ARTIST STATEMENT

I developed the spontaneous technique exclusively by researching the nuanced interaction of different shades - communicating with matter - and mixing ink with other media. The technique effectively portrays my impressions that interact with the viewer's own interpretation. Unconsciously, I have a dialogue with Monet, Leonardo, Joan Mitchell, I see things that others cannot see - pareidolia. I love this human ability to see recognizable familiar shapes in random objects, people, animals or other figures that don't actually exist (but are in a parallel world). The granular structure (grainy) - points - dots - drops - bubbles - in each is the boundless energy of love for nature, people and animals. Impression or reality, just before the quantum collapse occurs, when the image is still sharp and the universal eternity becomes concrete. The latest works were created in silence or emptiness, which is as important to music as whiteness on paper or canvas. White is an active element, figuratively in the entire pictorial space with the interaction of my shower watercolors on YUPO paper, which is then used as a collage, raw white impasto (strokes, white traces) acrylic and epoxy resin on aluminum panel.
