Portrait of Situation No. 6 Collage

Mixed media on canvas: phrases and images printed on photo paper, glue, cardboard, acrylic colors, charcoal, crayons and varnish with UV protection on canvas. Dimensions: 100x100x4cm Made in Berlin, March 2015. Since the beginning of my art research, my main story is a life story, story about an individual living in this society. Microcosm and Macrocosm. Diary of a person and at the same time a diary of the time in which this person is living. It is a mirror, a story, a construction, an interpretation, an interaction, an intellectual exercise… It is a composition which is always in movement, made of philosophy, poetry and experience seeking for an evolution, for a better life. I believe we learn to live throughout our lives; learning to live better and to understand better what our lives are all about. And this is my work, where my artworks are actually the results of my studies about life. I find bricks as a symbol very interesting because of the ambiguity in the possibilities of interpretations that bricks can give us as a wall or as a construction. As a wall it could be seen also as an obstacle, like a barrier or sign of limit or separation in life. In this case we might see it as negative, but alternatively it can be seen as a construction and therefore more positive and creative. However, in case of representing the society, we people are all these bricks and together we create a wall or a construction. In this case we could ask ourselves how good and strong we are as bricks? In the case where these bricks represent a life of an individual person, they become moments in life of this person. And going back to the ambiguity of wall or a construction: in difficult times the together of bricks could be interpreted as a wall we have to climb, and in good times these bricks are a construction which we are creating through our experience of moments for our evolution. As we can see in artworks from this series, every brick on the canvas is saying something different to us and all together they are presenting a composition, a portrait about some specific theme. They are leaving the spectator to interpret freely but at the same time they are asking and answering questions about life, and the truth about life, in very direct and concrete way.
