Art is the matter of opinion and only misses the mark if it fails to encourage any comment. Art must intellectually and emotionally engage us and communicate itself in its own language, without any tedious captions. I always take a photography as a point of departure for my canvases. My paintings are telling stories people left alone in the cruel realities, in life full of physical and sexual violence, war and death. Their shelter – or rather its lack – becomes everyday life and its acceptance. I am trying to sketch life in a different way. I am not indifferent to what is going on around me. There is such a massive onslaught of cruel and violent scenes blurring the line between reality and unreality that our sensitivity has been weakened. I am exploring the complexity of human mind and personality trying to find and identify where the border between bestiality and humanity lies. If there is any. I hope my paintings are able to restore people’s sensibility, which is fundamental. | | | Web Links Personal website F-book page LinkedIn profile | |
