I put great emphasis on the role of intuition in the creative process. Each project, even if its technological framework is strictly defined, (e.g. in the case of an installation) requires enough space for free artistic creation and multidimensionality. The same principle applies to painting and graphics despite their restricted premises. The subject matter of my works is of symbolic nature. A piece of art is a phantasm in which the alternative lives of symbols, forms and meanings take place.
ABOUT MY PAINTINGS
The most interesting things start when we become free of any intention,
when we don’t control our mind and the process of creation.
Then for couple of moments we are only the paintings,
the brushes, the structure, the energy and the collective
consciousness of elements used in the artwork. Our minds
are determined to fight for their freedom, to fall into the process
of creation, to discover new lands, to climb to the highest levels
of concentration. The process of creation can be compared with
falling in trance, digging in the furthest parts of our minds, that
were never used before. In many artworks there is an idea that
from time to time you can be an artist, and that’s true I believe
– you are an artist when you forget about the everyday life and
when you become a pure willing to create. It’s similar when you
are a sportsman, a scientist, an artist. According to Stanislav Grof,
the mind has an ability to look for the essence of things that wants
to concentrate on. And in that case it can be creative. This ‘ultra’
state of mind is what I mostly appreciate in my art now – the effect
of mostly personal artistic transcription of myself.
