In the past attempts to make a system or find a direction when creating my art, produced no fruitful result.
This led me limit the number of possibilities, to cut the excess of stimulating causes and to destroy any programs or system.
I then decided to throw away all limits and restrictions and to be guided by the subconscious.
In my life I aspire to recognize absolute truth.
My way of realizing this is to destroy and discard any superfluous knowledge,
habits or information and to follow instead the flow of new ideas and concerns which I came across by accident on chance.
I see my paintings as a screen on which to project archetypes of ancient information which are hidden in man's brain.
On the pictures themselves - paint, materials and event (the moment) have a very strong influence on the creation of the icongraphy;
they are the stimulus to construct signs, signals and elements which in turn lead to philosophical and aesthetic considerations.
- I accept no programs in my life and art.
- drifting and finding - discovering my Inner Universe - this is the essence of my art.
