ARTIST STATEMENT

My painting stems from a double source, which includes an imaginarium of unconsciousness and a need to work with visual contents of painting matter. These two components have conflicting goals, so the latter sometimes contradicts the manifestation of energy, which is the objective of the former. Therefore I always have to allow for the possibility of the existence of unstatistic parameters located in the field where chance takes an opposite role to the one it has in the general principle determined by the requirements of the painter’s craft. References to ancient concepts of structure and nature of the world are, in my opinion, linked to a great archive of innumerable past perceptions. My performances, objects and installations are my attempts to define the boundaries of scientific study of natural phenomena, such as the direction of the passage of time or gravity.
