Artist Statement:
Instead of speaking about my
art in general, I would rather
concentrate on a few important
issues, the ones I see as
biggest threats to a proper
understanding of my work.
1) SUBJECT. After
presentations of my work I
often hear questions: “What
does this painting mean?” or
“What do you want to say with
this painting?” Well, I would
like to give a clear answer:
nothing. Or, rather, nothing
that can be expressed in
words. Visual art is beyond
the world of words and ideas.
Like music or dance, it has
its own ways of expressing. I
think that people who attempt
to use their art as a way of
nearly verbal communication
should write a book instead.
My paintings are here to
please your eyes, not to
provoke your brain activity.
Expressing big ideas is domain
of esthetically unimaginative
persons. I gave up the
originality of ideas for the
originality of composition,
colours and lines, which
represent my personality very
well.
2) STYLE. I work in the style
of “alla prima”, which means I
am not covering the cardboard
with infinite layers of paint,
but rather trying to include
the background and structure
of the cardboard in the ...
