Artist Statement:
Dangerous Land
My new proposal “Dangerous
Land" is a response to
environmental, social,
political and inhumane
worldwide contemporary issues.
I give shape to an unstable
space that no longer have or
will disappear because of
globalization,
industrialization and global
warming. This leads to natural
disasters extinguishing life
and nature. As a part of this
series will also be unveiled
“The Book of Enlightenment”.
It will reveal information
about upcoming worldwide
disasters and epic events. We
haven’t seen anything yet.
This will be the new beginning
of life on Earth.
The materials I’m using in
this series of paintings,
collages and installations are
liquid and powder pigments in
raw, various acrylic mediums,
emulsion, shredded rubber,
glass beads, copper and
aluminum leaf, black magnum,
urethane, stainless steel,
silver and aluminum powder
among others.
