Transforming the inspiration obtained from nature, I assemble my paintings by using colours and shapes and grouping them to form genuine associative landscapes. Theme cycles, as well as their names, account for the stream of consciousness and the development from nature to associative abstraction.
Some materials that I use on my paintings have been taken straight from nature – sand, palm tree bark, crushed stone etc. They stand there in opposition to the white of the paste and the colours of the lines.
Roads, Passages, Tracks, Crevices, Falls, Settlements, Light, Delusions – when put all together, they make a journey, which art actually is – A journey into the Unknown. Landscape is the setting for artist’s life narration.
Inspiration comes from natural shadows, light, texture of mountains, transparency of water…Thought puts them all together, and then the artistic imagination and skill projects them onto the canvas in perfect harmony.
The easiest way to understand and accept my paintings is to look at them for a while and then perhaps try to catch the breath of my soul.
Try to enjoy yourselves.
