For me, the art is an intimate exploration of the internal spiritual space- emotions, passions, desires and experiences mix up together, creating an organic picture just as I recombine various negatives and techniques on a single sheet.
The technical process is quaint – I use very thin photo paper (out of production for more of 30 years now "ORWO", "FORTE") which gets crumpled in the process of printing and tortured with various concoctions of chemicals, the result of which are the tawny- brownish, ocher and tan hues on purely black and white paper without the use of any toners.
Thus every piece that emerges is unique, no editions possible.
The pain and joy of creation entwine together.
