ARTIST STATEMENT
My art is a quintessence of my perception of the world through the color in all its subtlety. A lot of my personal experiences through the time become the memories of color, married palettes and combinations. Questioning my own fascination and sensitivity towards it, throughout my career I have carried out an in depth research of color history and its therapeutical virtues.
Throughout my life, colour has helped me to ground my emotions which tend to fluctuate and shift from low to high several times a day. Being able to interpret my thoughts and feelings through the calorific experiences empower me and balance.
There is an ambiguity present in my making process, as if there are two makers involved at the same time. One is a theoretic who knows the subject in it's precision, conscious about every chosen hue. The other is a passionate dreamer who just dives into colour forgetting the real world.
The main project line I work around is called Hidden Colour. It is an art object rather than a painting as it makes use of all visible surfaces of a canvas instead of one. Each surface is dedicated to it's own color. The viewer can choose which colour to look at depending on the connection and emotional response.
Each of my works serves as a precisely calculated "dose" of colour which gives energy and evokes memories. It speaks to the personality and evokes colour memories that we all have.
