The white canvas is not at all a flat surface but a multi-dimensional space where everything becomes possible: even things which are incomprehensible for three-dimensional world.
The number of dimensions is not significant since it limits the movement of the matter but not the spirit.
I am painting the movement of spirit above space and time: a kind of state, essence…
I am painting the world in which I want to find myself.
I am painting a conflict to solve it and the harmony to inhabit in it.
I am painting my freedom and protecting it from the “all seeing eye” of the society.
My symbols are my philosophy: they deliver encoded messages and positive energy.
I am painting angels in order they save the world.
I am depicting my bright memories to go into them and remain there as long as possible.
I am painting my night dreams which are more real than the reality itself.
My creation is unconscious state, alienation from the reality: this is my tie with the Space where I seek my dreams, my own reality and harmony. |
