Artist's Statement
In my new work the viewer will evoke murals, will see
walls with their dark shades. Ancient and modern
archaeologies, cities in ruins, rediscovering the
splendor of an empire of art stricken by death, that the
eye brings back to life and by this renewing with the
origin and it's initial force.
I also compose collages…..collages of thought,
fragments using materials and sources that I process,
which are inhabited by socio-cultural codes, that are
timeless. In doing so, I am both challenging of the
times and inviting to meditation.
For the “On A Caravan” exhibition
Based on mixed media techniques, I derive the concept
of "weaving" in the two collages that I present. This
interwovenness stands for the principle that everything
is linked, connected and rooted in oneness.
So the result, like carpets, show humans, houses of
worship, symbols and letters in state of interwovenness,
so the eye can float and discover, and by this it's an
invitation to meditation.
