Desire’s journey
Painting action, energy, passion (“By passion the world is bound, by
passion too it is released” – reads the ancient Indian text). Painting
as an exaltation of being (direct, immediate, like a lyric poem – an
attempt to capture the moment).
Superficial world
Abandoning the chimera of three-dimensionality, the paintings are
without any depth, just as the contemporary world is without depth.
The depths of the modern world and its subterranean hallways – the
search for meaning – all became superficial in the contemporary world.
The painting has no hierarchies, no layers. Rather, it spreads over
the canvas like a rhizome, mostly on a monochromatic background.
Cracks and margins
Creating contrast through areas of white. White as crevices in the
clouds of color (“Letter”), which only intensify the colors. Breathing
air into the painting, but also cracks, pauses.
From “The Day We First Met” to “Waters of March”, where white is
present within the colour network, to the triptych where they appear
to have absorbed the largest part of the painting. These three
paintings (“Waves”, “Silk”, “Letter”), created at the beginning of
this year, the centre is empty, like a field of pure potential.
Blue desires
“Every star on my paintings represents a desire”, says Van Gogh. In my
work these are the blue dots, which appear in several paintings.
Pulsating desires of cobalt blue.
