I contemplated the time spent in the art residence in
Italy, where I worked this autumn away from everyone else. It developed more
naturalness. It slowed down when I could not catch up with something, and
accelerated when I needed it. It seemed as if I could control it. I realized
its value and completeness from a very different angle.
In the painting, which I was working outside in the
downpour and stormy wind, there is a state of exciting expectation of something
new and wonderful. This rainy week was marvellous.
The cycle “Escape”
This project was created during a stay in a
self-organized residence this autumn in Italy.
Being far from people and alone with nature, I was
analyzing the influence of the modern turbulent world on humans and their
absolute vulnerability to sudden changes in the surrounding space.
By contrast, I noticed and realized the incredible
power of human consciousness and its ability to adapt. And nature, of which we
are a part, helps us in this. You only need to run away, slow down, listen,
rethink and accept.
I am trying to represent the symbols, group them into
abstract forms that will remain in the depths of every human soul.
