Wings shadows and 1000 Birds
Mostly my works are large canvas paintings that explore imaginary background & landscapes. They are elemental imaginary landscapes, which look like water, earth or sky. I use conte`, oil and other elements as mediums. I experiment with supports as well as with medium. The possibilities of support/surface fascinate me. Without color VALUE is easier to see and to judge. It is easier to understand atmospheric perspective without color. I had to make use of tools other than color to create the illusion of depth, thus I am trying to use more energy and imagination in the paintings that these mediums create. I want to see how far I can push reality to the other side where the "real" is still recognizable, but start becoming partially SURREAL. I want to see how far I can push both the real and the surreal at the same time, into one another, building that tension until they are just one and the same.
I've always been drawn to WINGS since I was a child. The wings are symbol of aspiring to the greatest heights of accomplishment. In my paintings wings stand for clarity of mind, that how clean mental focus combined with stable footing can transform our lives in magical ways.
BIRDS represent joy, harmony, ecstasy, balance, and love. It denotes a sunny outlook in life, spiritual freedom and psychological liberation. It is symbolic of a transition or spiritual awakening also refer to the craving of an individual for the inner child, which would obviously mean innocence
I am trying to explain, how our SHADOW side holds the key to our inner self through shadow. Each of us has a shadow that whispers stories of our own self-defeating fears to us, hence understanding our own shadow side can lead us to lives of tremendous realization and peace.
