Art cannot wholly replace the reality of life. Art needs to be understood as a parallel, yet autonomous truth.

The modern man is gradually loosing his spiritual substance, which is being replaced with the non-essential and the over-material. That is why I address, in my creative process, a person’s ability to respond again as a spiritual being, capable of non-material communication.

The activation of the non-material view in the observer and the opening of his interiority bring him also the re-awareness of the nature and of the explicit contact with the surroundings. I would like for such painting images to create in an observer some kind of “mental spaces” in which the body and soul, the material and non-material, form an integrity.

Sometimes we really want to be closer to the sky...
