About my art
The effectiveness of the image and the color of the creation constitutes my addiction to unconscious reality or (subconsciousness?) unconsciousness. It is a reality suppressed within me and within the whole human soul which calls to be liberated and released from its suppression, to be recorded in poetic images and in a mechanized way, sublimated.
The source of my inspiration is music, poetry, literature and some contemplative philosophy as well as events that I should not have lived.
In my poetic imagery my vagueness serves to introduce content that does not derive from traditional reality; these contents are born from dreams experienced in both lucid and dormant states as well as from the breakdown of thoughts which are not subject to the laws of cause and effect or logic, and the purpose of which is to unleash a truth that will not be subjugated by any ideology or moral code.
Religion or nationality requires a certain geography or national culture and not the leap of humanity, without emphasizing the contradiction in our lives.
