Statement

My work is a body of records of feelings, thoughts and ideas. The creativity manifests itself in a continual process of events that conclude in a final destination and not just in an outcome. As an unknown adventure it takes place within the personal wholeness based on the development of one’s intimate thoughts feelings and possibilities. Thus artist's imagination is bound to simplicity and as a rule is in conflict with common sense. An environment free of common sense invokes the abstract qualities of the thought, thereby stimulating a uniquely energized dialogue. To me, each work is a reflection of the self in fragmented way like pieces of a puzzle subject to “solution”.

I strive not to reproduce the nature, as it may be perceived, but to speak of beauty and truth. The beauty is not what is comprised of visually attractive elements, but it is that whose elements are in harmony with each other and its environment. The truth is not what is perceived to be the one by customarily accepted norms, but it is that whose order is absolute where the purpose of harmony is realized.

Verbal summarization of an artist's work may introduce a relevant picture, but should not be viewed as the ultimate basis upon which one can rely. It cannot convey the inner factors involved in the creative process in its entirety, which may be known through a particular experience only. Marcel Duchamp has eloquently pointed out ”…art history has consistently decided upon the virtues of a work of art through considerations completely divorced from the rationalized explanations of the artist“.

I create the way I feel.
