ARTIST'S STATEMENT:
I focus my art on the Communication in different aspects and connections.
My leading emotion when I start the creation of my works is to assemble the constructive composition-of forms, shapes, and relations between them, to highlight main and secondary. Usually I provocatively build new and sometimes surrealistic bridges between the figures that require a longer and more profound observation. The use of colors is symbolic and also in charge of the leading composition. That concerns another aspect of the communication- the profoundness or the layers of the communication and the message that can be revealed and delivered through art.
However, the images I create are tranquil but caring through some dynamic energy that can vary depending on certain conditions. According to me there is a specific form of forwarded energy in the artwork which is a reflection of the place of creation. Being a resident in different places and counties I am exploring in my artworks how the emotion of the new circumstances that the place of creation can offer me can change, develop or lead my creativeness. This is another aspect of the communication process, concerning the links urbanization-artist-creation.
