Art Statement
My work is about visualizing my feelings, desire and thoughts, built both internally and externally. Internally the work is made from my memory about daily base subjects, emotions and sensations. The external construction is about process of painting such as dynamics of mediums, textures, colors and compositions etc. when I am being present and merging with the process the painting becomes living being, creating it by the communion which is performed by myself as a shaman. My goal is that by the ritual (the process of painting) I can deliver a new creature to the universe
