ARTISTS STATEMENT
Employment of force-based configuration is the vehicle to achieve my creative
objectives. Allowing the media to find its natural formation in the given
circumstances is a process, which brings to life shapes and imagery able
to communicate to my higher consciousness. I think artists imagination
is bound to simplicity and as a rule is in conflict with common sense.
Creativity cannot be free of historical contributions. Thus it's vertically
bound to the way artist perceives to inherited values. It's not the subject
matter, nor the ability to cater the popular taste determine the paintings
artistic standing, but the quality of execution to which is reserved the
true value of a work of art. Verbal summarization may introduce a relevant
picture, but should not be viewed as the ultimate bases upon which one
can rely. Because it cannot realistically convey the inner factors involved
in the creative process, which may be known through a particular experience
only. Marcel Duchamp has eloquently pointed out "art history has
consistently decided upon the virtues of a work of art thorough considerations
completely divorced from the rationalized explanations of the artist."
I paint the way I feel.
