Artist Statement:
I share the idea of an art
that creates reality instead
of offering its conventional
model. I want to provoke the
birth of view that go beyond
the boundary of reality
itself. These viewpoints
stress an order that exist "a
priory" in nature and can be
developed again and again.
This aspect makes the picture
exist as a signal that gives
the onlooker a chance to go
deep into his/her life
experience and mind. This is a
universal signal to which the
individual responds in un
unique manner and creates
his/her own reality. ...
