Artist’s Statement
All existence and human life still amaze me. I observe experiencing of life, feeling the experience, different standpoints in life and existence, different truths and realities. What kind of reality do we believe in or want to believe? My works are connected with each other in some respect, as in living organism every particle is connected as a whole. At first small fragments may seem to be separate, but in the end they form continua. I feel like an explorer who attempts to survey unknown ways of being, unknown districts and languages. Telling about those entities may give more joy, hope or understanding for the listener – and maybe wake up or remind to listen to life again, openly, without made up theories, humbly before the versatility of existence. What is human’s place in all this, in this infinity?
Everything in life is breathing and changing. Likewise I want to use different materials and techniques that seem to fit the best for each work. I mingle with and about abstract and figurative art, without forgetting language and symbolism.
