Exploring Mars

Mars Exploring

My art is influenced by various aspects such as nature, environment, Geography and topography. It consists of paintings, drawings, sculptures and installation. One can identify in the works different forms related to botanic and cartography. My drawings, for example, have repetitious forms, like an embroidery pattern that spreads and expands, while its general look brings up the association of an organic shape, a climbing plant or a fossil. In the large wall assemblage – 'Mars exploring' the shredded parts of the canvas are stained by rust layers, that brings to mind, geographic maps and uncharted territories. Through my art I aim to merge and combine various worlds, and my technique, respectively, is varied and extends from laborious crafts to spontaneous actions. The actions of experiment and play, dismantling and assembling, create a new body that seeks to undermine reality and raise questions on its significance and feasibility.  

The colors of rust and the amorphous shape and stains are what create the sense of how i envision Mars. The accumulation of the reddish colors - the stains of time is accompanied also by hand embroidery of stitched in the shape of the letter X with blue thread. The blue thread is a symbol to the "human fabric" and my hope of tying the past to the present, and connecting Mars to earth and its people in near future.
