Art Statement
My art materializes my interests and thought processes into different forms. During the process of creation I find a deeper connections to reality and its paradoxical aspects that escape rational definition. I seek to grasp a particular moment intuitively while situating myself in it.
My work is very diverse and eclectic; I rely on different techniques and materials, using them according to the needs of the subject. I feel as comfortable with oil, watercolor and acrylic paint, as with welded steel, plaster and other materials. In some works, as in my installations, I combine different elements and techniques to achieve my objectives. Other times I focus on one technique like oil crayons, oil or acrylic paint. The abstract and the realistic are interwoven in my art. I move from one to the other depending upon what the subject matter suggests for its' execution.
In my installations I am interested in the relationship of objects to other objects, as well as objects to space. I find aesthetic value in proportion and geometrical arrangements, which sometimes are accompanied by performance and soundtracks that I produce as well. Music, my life long interest, with which I seek to intensify the visual contemplation, inspires me in the final execution of my installations.
In my oil crayons cycle "Physiology of Dreams" I explore the subtle aspects of human imagination, not from a surrealistic context, but from an intuitive and emotional viewpoint, as an impression rather than a story to be told. I am not aiming for "realistic" dreams, as are depicted by symbols and painted forms that are analyzed. Instead I try to capture the elusive feelings that sometimes accompany us just upon awakening, where the essence of a dream evaporates leaving only a dry memory of it. "Physiology of Dreams" provides me with new possibilities to explore the oil crayon technique and make visible the poetic aspect of "life as dream".
