Artist Statement
I feel like we all live in multi-layered social and mental bubbles,
and it takes time, effort, courage, and acceptance to burst the first
bubble layer and move on to the next. Being in a bubble myself, I
constantly observe life around me, contemplating people, places, and
nature. Pre- made images of fictional characters or creatures result
from the life issue I'm experiencing.
My art serves as a channel through which I share my spiritual and mental
journey with the world. This is my way of reconnecting with the wild imagination
of my childhood and the world I live in today. I believe a mixture of abstraction,
symbolism, and surrealism gives the viewer a puzzle to solve so they can
interact with the painting. In all these symbols, I see a vital question:
why has no other animal been able to advance as far as civilization has?
The answer proves the fact that God has something planned for all of us.
I know my art is responsive to our times, as it combines many realities
into one in a modern and timely manner, changing the point of view of both
the artist himself and the viewers. This art journey is meant to inspire
people and help them accept that life is hard and often unfair, that we
are weak and blinded by our weakness. My goal is to motivate, inspire or
simply draw the viewer's attention to what they feel and live while
contemplating my depicted reality. If my painting somehow affects the viewer,
I know I have already fulfilled my mission as an artist.
