While pondering on the life of the lost
civilizations and artifacts of their existence I painted “The Magic Hill” or
“The Dune”. I wanted to depict how we can travel through our imagination, and
additionally, how an artist sees things and shapes around her by means of her
X-ray vision. The whole world, buried deep beneath the earth, conceals many
pieces of information on one remote life.
Each object found in that earth or sand represents
invaluable piece of one heritage. To travel by vision in one’s thoughts, to
feel the reality and the past and to know how to represent all these things, to
pour into one’s pen is a particular journey and adventure.
The plot of a story or the history of an event has
been partially communicated through the form of twisted and tight knots on
strings within my drawings. Aiming not to reveal all that I intuitively feel in
a “naïve” and “decorative” manner I utilize the wire models displaying a ball
or finished ribbons sometimes wrapped in pearls as symbolic details associated
with high value of events as well as sad, distant and inevitable destiny.
Escape from reality into the world of myths, legends
and imagination is a type of travel account and adventure. In other words, it
is the need for spiritual shelter that requires no physical movement in order
to travel somewhere.
