Statement
The research theme delves introspectively into the intricate nature of human existence and of its interaction with diverse visual and cognitive languages encountered from early childhood. In particular, it explores the mechanisms governing the realms of reality and unreality, of the material and the transcendent. It is a space where human, animal, vegetable, object, and surreal forms originate, interconnect, and undergo transformations within different environments. The interplay between these distinct realities unfolds daily within the sphere of every human being. This continuous interaction can unveil concealed relationships, thereby nurturing a profound perspective on reality. The intended process of observation seeks to reflect on experiences. It takes the self as its object of study, exploring self-awareness and the external world with which the self relates. The focus extends to the intricate realm of inner activities. Direct observation and analysis of an individual’s inner world – encompassing thoughts, feelings, desires, drives, and stimuli – reveals an inexhaustible archive of moments, cross-sequences, and mental landscapes. The created artworks should be viewed not only in terms of their material aspects but as entities capable of acting on a collective subconscious, transcending the geographical and cultural boundaries of those who encounter them.
