Artist Statement
The most essential thing about a visual work of art is actually invisible.
To me a work of art is a kind of dream, a matter, which in its silent vagueness conveys what sometimes clear conceptual thinking cannot communicate and is otherwise inexpressible. Paradoxically the most important think in a visual work of art – its spirit – is actually invisible, yet we could perceive it instantly if it's there.
I always need to get involved emotionally and mentally with a subject in order to start exploring it through the means of art. Usually such involvement results in a series of works that often evolve through the years.
However the things I am interested in are the idea, the principle, the type, and the relationships, most of all the relationship between man and his surroundings, hence my focus on the architecture and other urban phenomena as well as on topographic maps as documents of interaction between man and nature. The subject of these explorations could be resumed in the following questions: Where are we? How do we interact with our surroundings? What is the result of this interaction?
In this sense, even when I work with concrete objects, I am an abstract artist, as far as “to abstract" (according to C.G.Jung) means to remove or subsume concrete details with the purpose of reaching a more general idea.
