Statement:
Art is about freedom; it is a deep journey to reach for a level of understanding of my environment and myself. Art is about Discovery. It is about atmosphere, energy, experience, experimentation, learning and processing. Each gesture, each stroke, each gush or drop of paint, leads to a moment of equilibrium.
Through colour and tone, line and texture, composition and perspective, I explore the horizon of serendipity. Art is especially about the beauty and process of creation itself. It is a means of evaluation, and digestion for me as well as a stimulant to live.
It is the art that guides me not I who guides the art.
Its directions surprise me. I become aware of the collaboration between the conscious and unconscious through the process of creation .
The conscious mind represents the decisions taken with clarity, while the unconscious reveals emotional and psychological schemes, experiences and ideals triggered by conversations within and across culture, geography and society.
My Art often Revolves around nature. How our negative impact suffocates our living environment. Among other methods, I incorporate and reuse our otherwise disposable refuse
.
It is a journey into my soul, my emotions, my mind and my experiences, an echo of my life. It is the result of the knowledge saturating my cells trailing a traceable line.
