I need to feel and to capture life in front of my eye; actually I have the
desire to grasp every thing that penetrates me through the eye and
the skin.
In every moment an idea is evolving and able to cross into art.
How to manipulate the idea in order to become an art work that has
established on the relationship of itself with the shape in a frame of
visual and constructional trends.
I believe that there is always a relationship between the elements of
the destruction and the destruction itself.
Destruction is well known to me, it is the sensational experience and
the vitality that pushes me towards various trends. From this point a
concept is presented which is using the concept to express the idea,
materials for building the idea, abstraction in executing the idea, and
repetition in order to inter the idea's system.
Then at this point I start to ask myself questions …. Why I choose this
style to express my thoughts? Why I choose this material?
Why I attack the work surface with lines and additives?
Why I respect my work? … All these questions keep on struggling
inside me while I am working in the middle of jam-pack of things and
shapes around me.
All these are observing the harmony inside the moment.
That’s why my art work does not grow according to a previous
intellectual plan, but it generates by instant intuition decisions
resembling in making a numerous number of artistic pieces that are
accomplished in a long period of maturity and development which
allow changes to take place normally and spontaneously.
My work sculpture is free hand built from earthen ware clay with
glaze and fired at 1100C.
