FICTIONAL MEMORIES 1 Drawing

Since 2018 I embarked on a self-searching journey, both as a human person and as an artist. This was after a year spent without making art, painting. I wanted the best medium in which to represent my thoughts, memories and reflections. This led me to looking at artists like Robert Rauschenberg, Enrico Castellani and Lucio Fontana. I found myself deeply immersed into the works that defy the traditional interpretation of art as sculpture and painting. That’s when I started the precision geometric cuttings. I consider this work a multi faced work that involves an artistic process or exploration and a personal physical surfaces as an external place of memory. I look at this work as a form of performance involving the work and the viewer. As the viewer assumes different positions to get a whole picture. It’s not enough to view this work from a single standing position. For me everything exists in shapes that are repeated to create a motif. That is manifested in my work through repeated squares and triangles. Am also interested in the artistic intervention on surfaces, especially how a 2D surface becomes 3D surface after an artist works on it. The material could be papers, metal sheets or floor. The process of making this work is a performance in its self, containing a series of actions and interactions between me, clean sheets of paper and a sharp blade!! The Fictional Memories is me as a person trying to re-collect and re-member different events, people, spaces that I sometimes feel I have seen, met and experienced, or it’s just a dejavu moments.
