Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent.
It takes a touch of genius, and a lot of courage, to move in the opposite direction.
~ Albert Einstein
MOTIVATION
In my understanding of reality there are two worlds: the world of the idea which I could also rather reluctantly call a "spirit" and the world of the matter. These two worlds can either harmonize or battle one another. Visual art feeds on that dichotomy more than any other creative process. It attracts me. Throughout my career I'm learning the impossible: to materialize the elusive and to elude the material. I work with vast variety of media. The consistency of my art lays in its character and message rather than tendencies to use "my favorite" material or "my favorite" imagery. The “concept” is the backbone of my process and functions beyond materials. I chose the word concept for the lack of a more suitable one. It doesn't fully describe the intuitive nature of my creative drive. MORE
