Watery Nature. Identity. Time and Space
Artist Statement
I consider art as a universal language that speak and connect people from diverse cultures/backgrounds. I believe in the process of creating art as an important contributor to the identity and self- expression.
My abstract acrylic pouring art work evoked to me the deepness of meaning, symbolism, structure behind the material world. Spiritual/ mystical explanations are behind my paintings.
My paintings suggest a relationship with nature: micro and macrocosm, the vast space, the universe and an imaginary trip to diverse landscapes and imaginative worlds inviting to experiment sensational atmospheres and to reflect on the relationship between nature and the self. Movement, fluidity, identity as constant change.
In these paintings I am inspired by waters and marble designs that invite to spark imagination and to pay attention to the nature around and inside us. How we connect to the element of water inviting to think our relationship with nature, how we affect it and how it affects us...
