This cycle grows out of the
continuity of my previous work and also relates to earlier canvases with
light elements. Gradually, it evolves towards a series of “light
cylinders.”
Each painting requires time –
prolonged presence with the canvas, focus, and patience. The painting
technique suppresses handwriting, relying on clarity, precision, and an
exceptional sensitivity in mixing subtle shades of grey. Paradoxically,
the liveliness of the work becomes most visible on the palette itself,
in the space where the colours are blended.
Light appears here as a sign and a
connector between the outer and inner worlds, between solitude and
community. It radiates in different intensities, attracts, points the
way, and defines a space to remain. It raises the question: how much can
one influence through one’s own “radiance”?
The motif of light arose naturally,
when it suddenly emerged from darkness and black surfaces – as a bonus.
It becomes merging, a source, a connection to something transcendent. In
this sense, it continues the earlier cycles Ruralis and Stalks – the gesture of elevation, of reaching upwards.
